      Contemporary lifestyles are characterized by a multitude of factors that contribute to elevated levels of stress in the population, with work being a significant factor. This study addresses an important gap in social science research by examining work-related stress among industrial workers. The participating company was selected because it is emblematic in human resource management and psychosocial risk prevention. The Demands-Control-Support Questionnaire was used to determine the degree of job stress, and the socio-demographic variables of gender, age and seniority were also considered. The results showed that factory workers had minimal levels of job stress, with no differences between them and office workers. However, there was a significant discrepancy in job stress levels between men and women, with women having higher levels. Regarding age and seniority, job stress levels tend to decrease with increasing age and seniority

      Los estilos de vida contemporáneos se caracterizan por una serie de factores que con-tribuyen a elevar los niveles de estrés en la población, siendo el trabajo un factor significativo. Este estudio aborda una importante laguna en la investigación en ciencias socia-les al examinar el estrés laboral en trabaja-dores industriales. La empresa participante fue seleccionada por ser emblemática en la gestión de recursos humanos y la prevención de riesgos psicosociales. Para evaluar el nivel de estrés laboral se administró el Cuestionario de Demandas-Control-Apoyo, y se consideraron las variables sociodemográficas de género, edad y antigüedad. Los resultados revelaron que los trabajadores de fábrica presentaban niveles mínimos de estrés laboral, sin diferencias significativas en comparación con los trabajadores de ofi-cina. Sin embargo, se observó una discrepancia significativa en los niveles de estrés laboral entre hombres y mujeres, siendo este último grupo el que presentaba niveles más elevados. En lo que respecta a la edad y la antigüedad, los niveles de estrés laboral tienden a disminuir.
