description
The aim of this research project was to identify the job demands of fulltime academic faculty at the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (UNAM) who had been offered participation in an economic incentive program, and their association with adverse physical and mental health in 2012. A cross-sectional observational study was conducted in a convenience sample of 95 faculty members. A survey questionnaire was used to obtain information on demographic information, work conditions, job demands, implications of participating in the incentive program, and adverse health effects. The data were analyzed using JMP8 software, and controlling for age, gender and seniority; a p-value less than or equal to 0.05 was regarded as stastically significant. Overal, 54% of the sample were women, with a mean age of 53.2 years. Sixty-three percent of respondents participated in the economic incentive program; of these, 50% considered the quality of their work had not improved, and another 30% felt it limited their participation in team work. Overall, they felt their work was satisfactory because it allows them to further develop their skills and knowledge. The main job demands were to meet productivity objectives (77%) and to have to work on non-work days (71%). Three adverse health effects were identified: distress (38%), sleep disorders (35%), and anxiety (34%). The demands related to achieving the economic incentive were associated with self-reported adverse health effects. A similar association was found among participants not in the economic incentive program, but with a large work load.

La investigación fue de tipo observacional y transversal, en una muestra por conveniencia de 95 académicos. Se utilizó una encuesta de tipo epidemiológico para recabar información demográfica, condiciones del trabajo, exigencias, implicaciones de participar en programas de estímulos económicos y daños a la salud. Los datos se analizaron con el programa JMP8; controlando edad, género y antigüedad; estableciendo el nivel de significancia en p<0.05. La presencia femenina fue de 54% y la media de edad de 53.2 años. De 63% que participa en programas de estímulos, 50% considera que sus tareas NO tienen mayor calidad y 30% que sacrifica su trabajo en equipo. A esta muestra el trabajo les resulta satisfactorio pues les permite desarrollar habilidades y ampliar sus conocimientos. Las principales exigencias fueron cubrir cuotas de producción (77%) y realizar trabajos pendientes en días de descanso (71%). Hubo al menos tres padecimientos por académico cuya prevalencia la encabezaron: el distrés (38%), trastornos del sueño (35%) y ansiedad (34%). Las exigencias que se asumen para conseguir los estímulos se asociaron con los daños y lo mismo sucedió en quienes no participan pero sí están asumiendo una gran carga de trabajo para alcanzarlos.2014text (article)application/pdfhttps://dialnet.unirioja.es/servlet/oaiart?codigo=5300527(Revista) ISSN 1315-0138Salud de los Trabajadores, ISSN 1315-0138, Vol. 22, Nº. 1, 2014, pags. 19-28spaLICENCIA DE USO: Los documentos a texto completo incluidos en Dialnet son de acceso libre y propiedad de sus autores y/o editores.
