Leadership and Social Relationships at Work as a Psychosocial Risk Factor: It's Incidence on Human Resource Management in Organizations. Divers.: Perspect. Psicol.

This paper intends to analyse leadership and social relationships at work as a psychosocial risk factor, grounded on the following models: control demand - social support, effort-reward disbalance, and the dynamic risk factors model. The empirical contrast was performed by applying a set of instruments validated by the Colombian Ministry of Social Protection to a sample comprised of 148 managers and 267 professionals and technicians in 44 companies in the Colombian Coffee Region. The results allow us to identify a high risk in the dimensions relations with coworkers and social relations; no significant differences were found in risk indexes by gender or position, but some differences were found among age groups, service time and type of contract.

Keywords : psychosocial risks; leadership; social relations at work; human resource management.
