Abstract

The purpose of this research is to understand, from the perspective of workers in Salvadoran organisations, the impact of exposure to psychosocial risks on their physical and psychosocial health. The study uses a mixed-methods, descriptive, and exploratory approach with a sample of 212 participants. The findings reveal the presence and exposure to six types of psychosocial risks associated with relational distress, with women, public sector employees, and on-site workers reporting a higher prevalence. The results highlight an urgent need for organisational decision-makers to implement preventive and corrective measures to safeguard worker well-being, which is vital for the productivity, competitiveness, and resilience of the country's businesses.
