Evaluation of the Influence of Quality of Life on Work Performance in the Population with Diabetes Mellitus

To evaluate the influence of quality of life on work performance in Type II Diabetes Mellitus, determining the main factors and dimensions that make up the study variables. This research has a quantitative approach and a correlational scope through an instrument designed to estimate the quality of life and work performance. 387 surveys were obtained as a result of Cronbach’s alpha of 0.88, and the results of the exploratory factor analysis showed an adequacy of KMO of 0.869. For the Bartlett sphericity test, a significant value p < 0.001 was obtained. This confirms that the 8 dimensions indicate that the instrument adequately evaluates the construct in the population studied. Little is known about the influence of quality of life on work performance in diabetes mellitus; in this research, it was found that there is a statistically significant relationship between the variable quality of life and work performance in a population with Type II Diabetes Mellitus, the better the quality of life, the greater the work performance. An interest in employees with diabetes mellitus (DM) should be shown in companies by making the subject’s own well-being part of goal 3, “Health and well-being,” and target 3.4 of reducing premature mortality from this type of disease by one-third, which aims to ensure a healthy life and promote well-being for all at all ages, through prevention and treatment and promoting mental health as one of the company’s sustainable development goals, carry out an annual survey to evaluate the quality of life and work performance and in this way the organization can carry out programs to detect early employees diagnosed and not diagnosed with DM. This research provides data and information that has been little studied on the influence on the variables of quality of life and work performance in Type II Diabetes Mellitus, given that this disease is the second leading cause of death in the country.
