Abstract

En muchos países capitalistas industrializados se ha constatado desde hace tiempo la evidencia de que muchos problemas de condiciones y medio ambiente de trabajo impactan sobre la salud psíquica y mental de los trabajadores, así como sobre el funcionamiento de empresas y organizaciones. Pero también se verificó, más recientemente, que los factores de riesgo psicosociales en el trabajo tienen repercusiones en dichos espacios sobre el ausentismo, la rotación del personal, la calidad de vida en el trabajo, los accidentes de trabajo, las enfermedades profesionales, como así también prolongados y costosos litigios para ambas partes. Esto frena la productividad, deteriora la calidad y genera dificultades en el uso de las nuevas tecnologías. Por otra parte, a nivel de la macroeconomía, la falta de prevención genera elevados costos en los sistemas de salud y seguridad social, debido al incremento de las incapacidades laborales, con impactos fiscales. / In many industrialized capitalist countries, there has been evidence for a long time that many problems of working conditions and environment have an impact on the mental and mental health of workers, as well as on the functioning of companies and organizations. But it was also verified, more recently, that psychosocial risk factors at work have repercussions in such spaces on absenteeism, staff turnover, quality of life at work, work accidents, occupational diseases, prolonged and costly litigation for both parties. This slows down productivity, deteriorates quality and generates difficulties in the use of new technologies. On the other hand, at the level of macroeconomics, the lack of prevention generates high costs in the health and social security systems, due to the increase in work incapacities, with fiscal impacts.
