Resumen

La presente investigación tiene como objetivo desarrollar la revisión de literatura de las teorías referentes al estrés laboral en el teletrabajo de los docentes universitarios. Para ello se realizó la revisión de artículos científicos, se evaluó su marco teórico y marco referencial. Se identificó que después de comenzar a trabajar desde casa, es vital lograr un equilibrio apropiado entre las responsabilidades laborales y las obligaciones del hogar. ‘Lograr un equilibrio entre el trabajo y la familia’, especialmente para mujeres casadas y trabajadoras con niños pequeños, es otro factor importante, que puede beneficiar a los teletrabajadores. Varios resultados han reportado menos estrés relacionado con el trabajo como una de las ventajas del teletrabajo, es decir, los trabajadores que solían trabajar desde casa cuatro o cinco días a la semana informaron niveles más bajos de estrés en este grupo que aquellos que solían ir a la oficina todos los días.
