Resumen
La investigación explora el impacto de la salud mental en las
organizaciones colombianas desde una perspectiva social y económica. La
Organización Mundial de la Salud (OMS) define la salud mental como un estado de
bienestar esencial para el desarrollo humano. Estudios previos en Colombia y
América Latina destacan que el estrés, la ansiedad y la depresión afectan la
productividad y el clima organizacional, generando costos económicos y sociales
significativos. Diversas investigaciones han evidenciado que la pandemia de
COVID-19 exacerbó los problemas de salud mental en el ámbito laboral,
incrementando la carga emocional de los trabajadores y alterando las dinámicas
laborales. Factores como el teletrabajo, la incertidumbre económica y la falta de
estrategias de apoyo han intensificado los niveles de estrés y ansiedad en los
empleados. En respuesta, algunos estudios sugieren que las organizaciones que
implementan estrategias de bienestar, como programas de apoyo psicológico y
modelos de trabajo flexibles, han logrado mejorar la satisfacción y el desempeño de
sus empleados. Sin embargo, persisten desafíos en la gestión del bienestar mental
dentro de las empresas. El presente estudio busca analizar estos antecedentes y
proponer estrategias que permitan mejorar la gestión de la salud mental en las
organizaciones colombianas, promoviendo un entorno laboral más saludable y
sostenible. El objetivo principal de la investigación está basado en analizar cuál ha
sido el impacto de la salud mental en las organizaciones de Colombia desde las
dimensiones social y económica.
The research explores the impact of mental health on Colombian organizations from a social and economic perspective. The World Health Organization (WHO) defines mental health as a state of well-being essential for human development. Previous studies in Colombia and Latin America highlight that stress, anxiety, and depression negatively affect productivity and organizational climate, generating significant economic and social costs. Research has shown that the COVID-19 pandemic worsened mental health issues in the workplace, increasing workers' emotional burden and disrupting labor dynamics. Factors such as remote work, economic uncertainty, and lack of support strategies have intensified stress and anxiety levels among employees. In response, some studies suggest that organizations implementing well-being strategies, such as psychological support programs and flexible work models, have improved employee satisfaction and performance. However, challenges in managing mental well-being within companies persist. This study aims to analyze these background findings and propose strategies to improve mental health management in Colombian organizations, fostering a healthier and more sustainable work environment. The main objective of this research is to analyze the impact of mental health on organizations in Colombia from both social and economic perspectives. This is further broken down into three specific objectives, each closely linked to the main goal.
