Importance of safety, occupational health and epidemiological surveillance in ecuadorian companies: impact on job satisfaction

Abstract

The study aims to analyze the incidence of occupational health systems, occupational safety and epidemiological surveillance in the job satisfaction of human talent. A consistent methodology was developed in the application of the quantitative, cross-sectional and descriptive approach. Thus, the formulation of the research hypothesis was reached, whose verification was based on the analysis and synthesis of the information obtained in the application to 104 employees of Ecuadorian companies of the Survey on Safety and Health at Work for Ecuador I-ESST and the Job Satisfaction Questionnaire S10/12. The results achieved confirmed the validity of the hypothesis that the non-existence or poor implementation of occupational health systems, job security and epidemiological surveillance in Ecuadorian companies, negatively affects the satisfaction of human talent. In the approach, it was evidenced with the interpretation of Pearson's r coefficient, whose absolute value and positive sign allowed us to infer that while the perception of human talent regarding the implemented occupational health, occupational safety and epidemiological surveillance systems is deficient, their job satisfaction tends to decrease.
