Abstract

Well-being of employees is desirable within organizations goals. It is a positive indicator of the actions taken by any company to make the worker's experience in organizing something that encourages good performance and therefore achieve better results (Gómez, 2013). The purpose of this research was to measure the relation of overall labor well-being and gender. We establish the relationship between psychosocial well-being and gender and assess the relationship between collateral effects and gender. We explore the psychometric properties of the Labor Well-being General (qBLG) quietionnaire. The dependent variables of psychosocial well, collateral effects and general work well with the independent variable gender. We use gender because according Crespo (2014) sometimes females experience more stress and more physical and pain symptoms than men. We use the questionnaire General Labor Wellbeing (Blanch et al., 2010) which was authorized, for data collection. The research was descriptive and quantitative. We use a sampling method called snow ball exponential character. We find that general labor welfare and psychosocial wellness have no statistically significant differences by gender. However, collateral effects do have significant differences by gender.
