Abstract
La industria minera representa uno de los sectores laborales de mayor riesgo a nivel global, enfrentando tasas de accidentabilidad superiores a otros sectores productivos. La presente investigación tuvo como objetivo determinar el impacto del liderazgo visible de los supervisores en el desempeño de seguridad en una empresa contratista minera en Perú durante 2022. Se empleó un enfoque cuantitativo con un diseño descriptivo-correlacional, aplicando un muestreo censal a 27 supervisores. Los instrumentos utilizados fueron un cuestionario validado por juicio de expertos (CVC=0.854) con confiabilidad (α=0.683) y registros de indicadores de seguridad. Los resultados revelaron una correlación positiva alta y significativa (Rho de Spearman = 0.79, p<0.05) entre el liderazgo visible y el desempeño de seguridad. Adicionalmente, se constató una reducción del 71% en el índice de frecuencia de accidentes. Se concluye que el liderazgo visible es un factor determinante en la mejora del desempeño de seguridad, validando su importancia estratégica para la prevención de riesgos en operaciones mineras de alta peligrosidad.
The mining industry represents one of the most risky labor sectors at a global level, facing higher accident rates than other productive sectors. This investigation aims to determine the impact of visible leadership of supervisors on safety performance in a mining contracting company in Peru during 2022. A quantitative approach was implemented with a descriptive-correlational design, applying a census sample to 27 supervisors. The instruments used were a questionnaire validated by a panel of experts (CVC=0.854) with reliability (α=0.683) and records of safety indicators. The results revealed a high and significant positive correlation (Spearman's Rho = 0.79, p<0.05) between visible leadership and safety performance. Additionally, a 71% reduction was noted in the accident frequency rate. It is concluded that visible leadership is a determining factor in improving safety performance, validating its strategic importance for risk prevention in highly dangerous mining operations.
