- Abstract
Objective: Evaluate the existing relationship between the sense of well-being and coherence (SC), as psychosocial factors related to labor perception characteristics. Methods and materials: A cross-section and descriptive study of a random sample of 369 workers of the manufacturing industry of the Metropolitan Area of Guadalajara (Mexico). The study was carried out in 24 industries of three industrial parks associated only by their size. Results: The highest global score of SC are obtained by men with 124.44 points. The perception of "bad metal health" is presented by 17.61% of the men and 29.45% of women, being in men where there are significant statistically differences regarding to the highest average age of the worker and the time working there. The SC scores were higher in individuals with a better sense of well-being, in both genres, and it correlates inversely with the General Health Questionnaire scores in all the subjects studied. Conclusions: There is a negative individual perception regarding well-being, performance, and the not much motivating activity related to organizational factors, where they observe a lack of incentives, job insecurity, feeling of not being appreciated in their jobs, low salaries, and insufficient ongoing training on behalf of the company which lead them to a low Sense of Coherence.
