Description
Summary:This research aimed to identify and classify psychosocial risk factors in their internalto-job, external-to-job and individual dimensions and job distress levels among teachers in a higher education institution. This institution is the Corporación Universidad de la Costa, in Barranquilla, Colombia. This study is a quantitative research, with descriptive purposes. The simple was conformed by 195 teachers of all careers. As instruments, a Battery to measure Psychosocial Risk Exposure was used, allowing to identify results for every psychosocial risk factor and classifying results between low to very high exposures to these factores. Within the results, can be pointed that most relevant exposures correspond to medium, high and very high exposure in the internal-to-job factors, regarding aspects like control and autonomy, job activities demands, cuantitative demands, mental load demands, environment demands and, in a lesser proportion physical demands, and the job influence on the external-to-job psychosocial environment. Regarding distress levels, we can appoint that about 27,6% of the individuals with part time contracts show risky distress levels, but 49,7% of the full-time contract individuals present these levels. Results also show that immediate interventions from Organizational and Higher Education Welfare are required to act over the phenomena.
