This study analyzes the relationship between organizational social work (OSW), psychosocial well being, and labor productivity in the face of technological barriers at Inborja S.A., an agro industrial company located in Southern Coastal Ecuador. The objective was to determine the predictive power of seven dimensions of the organizational technological environment on psychosocial well being (DV-C1) and labor productivity (DV-C2) through a quantitative, cross sectional, correlational predictive design. A validated 47 item Likert scale (1–5) instrument was administered to all 400 workers (census design). Results showed excellent reliability (mean Cronbach's α = .979), optimal factorial adequacy (KMO = .973; χ²(1081) = 38,922.60, p < .001), and 90.80% explained variance. Spearman correlations ranged from ρ = .661 to ρ = .878 (p < .001). OLS regression models explained 80.87% of variance in psychosocial well being and 72.92% in labor productivity. All ten hypotheses were confirmed (p < .001). It is concluded that technological barriers are significantly associated with psychosocial well being and labor productivity as a relevant psychosocial factor whose explanatory relationship is modulated by organizational culture, digital work conditions, and institutional support resources.
