El estrés laboral como síntoma de deficiencia de liderazgo en las empresas

Abstract

The present investigation was carried out from on the review of documents related to leadership, work stress and the relationship between these two issues, the foregoing because in the organizations there are constant challenges and changes resulting in greater exigency and pressure on the leaders, bosses or superiors, to achieve the fulfillment of the objectives set, but when the proposed change or the requirement given is not accepted in the appropriate manner, it causes poor communication with its employees and generates in them a psychosocial risk called work stress. Work stress as a result of ineffective leadership is a variable that transcends the physical and mental health of human capital, a differentiating factor in companies and a conclusive element of organizational success. To carry out the research, a qualitative methodology was used, seeking to obtain knowledge about leadership and work stress; through which it was possible to show that there are several elements to argue the relationship between job stress and ineffective leadership. It is necessary to take into account aspects such as theories, types and exponents of leadership, as well as concepts of stress, causes, effects and degrees of it, information that provides a broad view of the elements to justify the relationship of these two concepts.
