Abstract

Labor productivity measures the performance and efficiency of a worker; on the other hand, anxiety is a defense mechanism, a warning system in the face of threatening situations that can even be disabling. In this work we analyzed the effects of mental health (anxiety) on productivity at work, the case of the Faculty of Economics and Business Sciences of the University of Pamplona in the period 2021-2022. The method used for conducting the research was inductive with a quantitative approach in a descriptive manner, with a population of 75 workers where a sample of 36 workers between teachers and administrative staff was taken; two surveys were conducted, one for anxiety where 13 items of the Hamilton Anxiety Scale were taken into account and the other for labor productivity where 20 items of a form applied in the thesis ''Emotional Intelligence and Labor Performance of the workers of the Polyclinic Victor Panta Rodriguez in the year 2017'' were taken into account. It is concluded that the majority presents mild anxiety and that the workers of the Faculty of Economics and Business Sciences have a labor productivity of maximum performance, also that when correlating both variables it is evident that a high level of anxiety causes a lower level of productivity.
