Keywords:
Perception of life quality at work, Quality of Life at workAbstract
In the workplace the employee carries out its activity, connects to its subject matter and its work area, with the instruments of production and the elements from the physical or natural environment that are involved in the production process. It is just there where are present the risk factors that can affect its health and cause work related diseases.
Objective: Determine the perception of life quality at work and establish whether such life quality perception is related to the work area.
Methodology: Descriptive and correlational study. We surveyed 60 employees of a meat company: 30 administrative and 30 operative personnel through the quality of life instrument CVT-GOHISALO. Findings were correlated with the area where the worker performs its activities, using the X2 Pearson test.
Results: The study population aged between 19 and 60 years, with predominance of men in the operational area (86,7%) and women in the administrative area (53,3%). The relationship between perceptions of life quality at work and work area do not yielded significant differences for the assessed dimensions: institutional support (P = 0,458), safety at work (P = 0,329), integration to the workplace (P = 0,251), job satisfaction (P = 0,734), welfare achieved through work (P = 0,186), free time management (P = 1,000).
Conclusions: The perception of life quality at work was not related to the work area.
