| Sumario: | Contemporary lifestyles are characterized by a multitude of factors that contribute to elevated levels of stress in the population, with work being a significant factor. This study addresses an important gap in social science research by examining work related stress among industrial workers. The participating company was selected because it is emblematic in human resource management and psychosocial risk prevention. The Demands-Control-Support Questionnaire was used to determine the degree of job stress, and the sociodemographic variables of gender, age and seniority were also considered. The results showed that factory workers had minimal levels of job stress, with no differences between them and office workers. However, there was a significant discrepancy in job stress levels between men and women, with women having higher levels. Regarding age and seniority, job stress levels tend to decrease with increasing age and seniority. |
