The developed study was of mixed type, the quantitative component was represented in the application of 85 surveys, and the qualitative in the application of 6 in‐depth surveys, as well as the selection to convenience of the literature. The results prove that there is a greater risk of stress, because there were difficulties in the evaluation of leadership styles, conflicts in coexistence and finally the appearance of labor stress affected the health of the workers. In the conclusions, it is recommended to apply strategies and mitigate the identified psychosocial risks.
