Work Environment, Psychological Well- being, Psychosocial FactorsAbstract
Today we recognize the need to maintain good mental health. Psychological well-being is a key point for work environments. Trends are shifting toward this issue, as are regulations and laws, such as the case in Mexico with the introduction of NOM-035-STPS-2018 in recent years. Small and medium-sized companies often lack an organizational structure that allows them to identify these needs; therefore, this study seeks to provide insight into the factors that can impact the psychological well-being of a group of workers at a small company in the paint and metal finishing industry. This study was quantitative and correlational in nature, using a survey of all company employees as a measurement instrument. This instrument was developed based on a theoretical framework that allowed us to define a dependent variable (psychological well-being) and two independent variables: Work environments and Psychosocial Factors. The results were analyzed using SPSS software and provide an initial contribution to developing a path forward for companies in this sector that address issues of psychological well-being.
