Abstract

The objective of this project was: “To evaluate the work stress of the teachers of the Atahualpa Educational Unit, through the use of a web application with client-server characteristics designed for this purpose”. The software was developed applying the SCRUM methodology and free software tools such as PHP, Apache and MySQL were used. Once the software was developed, the research methodology was applied. The study was framed in a quale-quantitative research paradigm. The techniques used were a teacher survey and a principal interview. We worked with a population of 107 teachers and the sample was not calculated. The results obtained after performing the electronic stress assessment using the software developed were: 1% showed medium and high emotional exhaustion, 7% were high and 9% medium in terms of depersonalization (temporary feeling of “getting lost”, feeling “different”, “strange” or “like in a dream”), and 18% were low and 12% medium in terms of personal fulfillment. In conclusion, it can be said that: the developed software helps a lot in the automatic evaluation of work stress, since specifically in the case study the work stress of teachers is minimal, but it is necessary to improve the aspects of personal realization on the part of teachers and to reduce the existing depersonalization.
