Efectos socioeconómicos, laborales, emocionales de la ley 2101 en la empresa INFERCAL S.A.S y su impacto del 2023 al 2025

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the socioeconomic, labor, and emotional effects of reduced working hours within the framework of the implementation of Law 2101 of 2021 at INFERCAL S.A.S. during the period 2023 to 2025. The analysis seeks to understand its impact on employees at the operational, administrative, and managerial levels, as well as its implications for organizational dynamics. A mixed-methods approach was implemented, integrating various data collection techniques, including surveys, interviews, document analysis, and focus groups, allowing for a comprehensive view of the phenomenon under study. The analysis was conducted using several theoretical frameworks, such as Abraham Maslow's hierarchy of needs, the conservation of resources theory, and the marginal productivity theory, complemented by studies carried out by various government entities, such as the Colombian Ministry of Labor, and international organizations, such as the ILO. The results obtained demonstrate significant transformations in employee well-being and quality of life, as well as economic effects for the organization. Similarly, the implementation of Law 2101 of 2021 presented strategic challenges for INFERCAL S.A.S, particularly in terms of productivity, flexibility in shift management, and strengthening of human talent management processes.
