Capital Psicológico y Liderazgo Empresarial: Estrategias para Bienestar Emocional en Equipos de Trabajo en Pymes de Servicios de la Ciudad de Guayaquil

This paper is the result of a study on emotional well-being in small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the service sector in Guayaquil, the economic capital of Ecuador. In this city, 64% of workers report moderate to severe work-related stress, accompanied by leadership strategies perceived as inadequate by 57% of employees. The study's objective is to propose business leadership strategies that strengthen psychological capital and contribute to improving emotional well-being in these environments, which have been little addressed in the literature. A mixed-methods approach was used, combining data collection methods from quantitative and qualitative approaches. Standardized questionnaires were administered to 379 employees, complemented by 18 interviews with key informants selected for their ability to contribute to an understanding of the problem and its potential solutions. The results showed moderately high levels of psychological capital (M = 4.34), a predominance of transactional leadership over transformational leadership, and a significant correlation between psychological capital and workplace well-being (r = .53). Likewise, substantial differences were identified between subsectors, with better indicators in technology services. It is concluded that psychological capital partially underpins the relationship between leadership and emotional well-being. Therefore, differentiated strategies are required according to business size and subsector, integrating culturally valued elements such as "close supervision" with transformational leadership practices.El trabajo que se presenta es el resultado de una investigación sobre el bienestar emocional en pequeñas y medianas empresas (PYMES) del sector servicios en Guayaquil, capital económica de Ecuador. En esta ciudad, el 64% de los trabajadores reportan niveles de estrés laboral moderado a severo, acompañado de estrategias de liderazgo percibidas como inadecuadas por el 57% de los colaboradores. El objetivo del estudio es proponer estrategias de liderazgo empresarial que fortalezcan el capital psicológico y contribuyan a mejorar el bienestar emocional en estos entornos, poco abordados en la literatura. Se empleó un enfoque mixto que combina métodos de recolección de datos propios de los enfoques cuantitativo y cualitativo. Se aplicaron cuestionarios estandarizados a 379 empleados, complementados con 18 entrevistas a informantes clave, seleccionados por su capacidad para aportar a la comprensión del problema y sus posibles soluciones. Los resultados evidenciaron niveles moderadamente altos de capital psicológico (M=4.34), un predominio del liderazgo transaccional sobre el transformacional, y una correlación significativa entre capital psicológico y bienestar laboral (r=.53). Asimismo, se identificaron diferencias sustanciales entre subsectores, con mejores indicadores en servicios tecnológicos. Se concluye que el capital psicológico parcialmente la relación entre liderazgo y bienestar emocional. Por tanto, se requieren estrategias diferenciadas según el tamaño empresarial y el subsector, que integren elementos culturalmente valorados como la “supervisión cercana” con prácticas propias del liderazgo transformacional
