Abstract

The present investigation presents as objective to analyze the incidence of the telework in university teachers of the Superior Polytechnic School of Chimborazo (ESPOCH), Ecuador, during the pandemic COVID-19. The study was descriptive, non-experimental, cross-sectional, in a population of 92 workers. The psychosocial risk factors identified in this study, both at the extra-work and intra-work level, revolve around the amount of time away from work, communication, interpersonal relationships, influence of the extra-work environment on work, control over work, rewards, work demands, leadership and social relations, making the work more demanding and strenuous, generating a greater psychosocial risk and negatively affecting general and mental health.
