El entorno psicosocial laboral y la gestión del estrés en las generaciones X, Y, Z y Baby Boom
Palabras clave:
Resumen
Los ambientes de trabajo saludables reducen riesgos y potencian el desempeño y la satisfacción de los trabajadores, y el estrés puede perjudicar su salud y compromiso. Cada generación tiene experiencias y expectativas propias que deben ser consideradas. Este estudio explora la relación entre el ambiente psicosocial laboral y la gestión del estrés según la generación, mediante un estudio transversal, comparativo y cuantitativo. La muestra estuvo compuesta por 4.551 participantes: 2.189 pertenecientes a la Generación X, 1.657 a la Generación Y, 383 Baby Boomers y 317 a la Generación Z. Los participantes fueron reclutados mediante muestreo por conveniencia e incluyeron voluntarios de al menos 18 años que trabajan en Portugal. Los resultados indican diferencias generacionales en las formas de gestionar el estrés. En particular, los Baby Boomers y la Generación X comparten preocupaciones similares relacionadas con el estrés laboral, mientras que la Generación Y y la Generación Z tienden a destacar factores similares entre sí. Las lideranzas pueden influir en el estrés de los trabajadores, por lo que deben considerar sus necesidades.
