Resumen
Esta investigación tuvo como objetivo general analizar los factores que influyen en el balance vida-trabajo y la satisfacción laboral de los colaboradores de una empresa del sector constructor en Barranquilla. El problema central que motivó el estudio radica en que las dinámicas propias del sector de la construcción, que suelen generar condiciones de desequilibrio entre la vida personal y laboral de los trabajadores, lo cual puede derivar en desmotivación, desgaste emocional y afectaciones en la permanencia del talento humano dentro de las organizaciones. Los estudios que abordan de manera específica estas variables en el contexto del sector constructor de la región Caribe colombiana resultan escasos, lo que justificó el desarrollo de la presente investigación como un aporte a un campo de conocimiento poco explorado a nivel local. Metodológicamente, el estudio se desarrolló bajo un enfoque cuantitativo, de tipo correlacional y diseño no experimental transversal. Se obtuvo una muestra de 37 colaboradores que participaron de manera voluntaria y autorizaron el tratamiento de su información. Los datos se recolectaron a través de un cuestionario estructurado, diseñado por las investigadoras, compuesto por 18 ítems en escala Likert de cinco puntos (1 = totalmente en desacuerdo; 5 = totalmente de acuerdo), distribuidos en seis dimensiones: estado psicológico, dinámica familiar y estrés laboral, correspondientes a la variable balance vida-trabajo; y crecimiento profesional, reconocimiento y productividad, correspondientes a la variable satisfacción laboral.
This research aimed to analyze the factors influencing work-life balance and job satisfaction among employees of a construction company in Barranquilla, Colombia. The central issue motivating the study lies in the inherent dynamics of the construction sector, which often create imbalances between employees' personal and professional lives, potentially leading to decreased motivation, emotional exhaustion, and reduced talent retention within organizations. Studies specifically addressing these variables in the context of the construction sector in the Colombian Caribbean region remain scarce, which justified the development of this research as a contribution to a locally underexplored field of knowledge. Methodologically, the study adopted a quantitative approach with a correlational scope and a cross-sectional non-experimental design. A sample of 37 employees voluntarily participated in the study and authorized the use of their information for academic purposes. Data were collected through a structured questionnaire designed by the researchers, consisting of 18 items measured on a five-point Likert scale (1 = strongly disagree; 5 = strongly agree). The instrument was organized into six dimensions: psychological well-being, family dynamics, and work-related stress, corresponding to the work-life balance variable; and professional growth, recognition, and productivity, corresponding to the job satisfaction variable.
