Methods: The study was descriptive, associative and transverse, in which 292 workers participated. The short version of the Government of Chile Questionnaire SUSESO ISTAS-21 (Superintendencia de Seguridad Social) was used. The perceived stress scale was validated for the Chilean population. To Statistical analysis was used the SPSS 17.0. Results: The results indicate that all psychosocial risk factors of the job are associated with perceived stress in the form of significant statistics. The associations more important are between social support and psychological demands with perceived stress, between gender and double presence, years with the company and active job, shift schedules and compensations. Conclusions: The workers evaluated show the perceived stress increase, when the psychosocials risks of work also increase. Therefore, the perceived stress increase when these workers perceive problems with contents and organization of job.
