PSYCHOSOCIAL FACTORS IMMERSED IN THE CONTEXT OF EDUCATORS IN A STATE EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTION OF SAN JUAN DE PASTO. Tend. [online]. 2018, vol.19, n.2, pp.138-160.

The psychosocial factors should play an important role within each organization since these directly affect the worker’s performance and health, as well as the functionality of the company. For this reason, the present study aims to identify the intra-labor and extra-labor psychosocial factors in educators of a State Educational Institution of San Juan de Pasto through a descriptive methodology with a cross-sectional design. In the study, three questionnaires from the Colombian Ministry of Social Protection (2010) were applied: the Battery Instruments for the Evaluation of Psychosocial Risk Factors (General data Sheet, the Intra-labor Psychosocial Risk Questionnaire (form A), and the Extra-Labor Psychosocial Risk Questionnaire). The results show that educators are not exempt from being exposed to intra-labor and extra- labor risks, since the different conditions that take place inside and outside the workplace affect their health and performance in the Institution. These findings are evidenced in most of the population that scores some dimensions at high and very high risk.
