Abstract

The present study is a proposal of a questionnaire of psychosocial factors for university professors based in a standard proposed in the Mexican law that considers the International Labor Organization recommendation. The study is based on five dimensions: Work environment, factors for the activity, organization of working time, leadership and relationships and work and organizational environment. The information was collected among 300 teachers with a wide range of tenure and conditions at work in Mexico. Also, the questionnaire was developed during the pandemic of COVID-19 which affected the job this kind of professionals. We performed an exploratory factor analysis to evaluate each one of the five dimensions using questionnaires previously validated by different authors. We obtained one dimension for the work environment factor, two dimensions for the factor for the activity, one dimension for the organization of working time, three dimensions for the factor leadership and relations at work and two dimensions for the organizational environment factor. The results showed that the questionnaire is valid and can be used as a tool to improve the conditions of work at universities. We found that the dimension insecurity and leadership were the worst evaluated by university teachers. This questionnaire could be used to promote safety conditions after the sanitary emergency and to promote a healthy environment among workers. © 2023 by Cherkas Global University All rights reserved.

高校教授的心理社会因素分析

本研究是根据墨西哥法律中提出的标准，考虑到国际劳工组织的建议，对大学教授的心理社会因素问卷的建议。这项研究基于五个方面:工作环境、活动因素、工作时间安排、领导力和人际关系、工作和组织环境。这些信息是在墨西哥的300名教师中收集的，他们的任期和工作条件各不相同。此外，调查问卷是在COVID-19大流行期间开发的，影响了这类专业人员的工作。我们进行了探索性因素分析，以评估五个维度中的每一个，使用之前由不同作者验证的问卷。我们得到了工作环境因素的一个维度，活动因素的两个维度，工作时间组织的一个维度，领导和工作关系因素的三个维度以及组织环境因素的两个维度。结果表明，问卷调查是有效的，可以作为改善高校工作条件的工具。我们发现，大学教师对不安全感和领导能力的评价最差。该调查表可用于促进突发卫生事件后的安全条件，并促进工人之间的健康环境。©切尔卡斯环球大学版权所有出版于美国
