De cuerpo presente: un estudio de evitación del trabajo
Resumen
La evitación del trabajo se manifiesta como una renuncia psicológica que motiva a los empleados a evadir sus responsabilidades laborales, fingir que se trabaja y realizar el mínimo esfuerzo requerido para mantener el empleo. Los resultados del cuestionario aplicado a 154 empleados de cuatro organizaciones mexicanas señalan que el 21.4% de los participantes reporta que el trabajo se evita y sugieren una probable trayectoria que explica el 19% de la varianza de la evitación del trabajo. La trayectoria inicia con entrevistas de selección imprecisas y se consolida posteriormente con la percepción de bajos niveles de justicia organizacional.
Abstract
Job avoidance or psychological resignation drives employees to neglect work duties, to pretend work and to exert a low level of effort. Results of a questionnaire administered to 154 employees in four Mexican organizations, reveal that 21.4% of employees avoid work and a probable path that explains 19% of variance of job avoidance. The path starts with unrealistic job previews and later consolidates with perceptions of low organizational justice.
