Factores que influyen en el abandono de cargo de los trabajadores de la constructora Tenco S.A., de la obra Kunava en la ciudad de Villavicencio-Meta durante el año 2021

Abstract

The construction sector represents a high rate of hiring in Colombia "according to figures provided by the DANE, the construction sector has generated more than one million jobs, thus breaking a record and having a greater number of labor linkages with respect to 2020, with a total of 142,000 more people employed" (Elempleo.com, 2021). Therefore, construction is one of the sectors with the highest demand for employment in Colombia and constitutes a significant source of direct and indirect employment, significantly boosting the country's economy. According to the Dane for the first quarter (January-March) of 2019, 1,397 thousand people were employed in the Construction branch; of these 87.8% were located in the capitals (1,226 thousand people) and 12.2% (171 thousand people) in populated centers and dispersed rural areas. (Dane, 2019), and, the third quarter of 2021, Villavicencio's informality rate was 58.8%, placing it above the result of the rest of the 13 areas (46.4%) (Planeacion, 2021, p. 4). Therefore, Villavicencio increased by 15.7% between the third quarter of 2020 and the third quarter of 2021, in contrast to the other cities that had a 13.4%, with the city of Villavicencio having a higher level of increase in employability in this last year. Now, although the construction industry has a great impact in generating employment, it is also a rather unstable sector for various reasons such as: working conditions, salaries and temporary employment, and others, so many of these workers are permanently looking for other job options where they can find better working conditions, leaving a gap in the organizations that represents costs, time and setbacks in administrative issues. Thus, this research aims to identify the factors that influence the abandonment of positions of the workers of the construction company Tenco S.A., of the Kunava construction site in the city of Villavicencio-Meta during the year 2021 and thus generate an intervention plan to reduce the abandonment of positions and staff turnover.
