Abstract
Work ability is a facilitating factor for management in terms of life, work, and productivity. This research aimed to identify the work ability factors (WAF) in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic, correlating these estimations according to the gender and age of workers, personal development, and finances. An exploratory survey was conducted with an intentional non-probabilistic sample and factor analysis to refine the data and identify the most applied WAF. We executed the Levene test, ANOVA analysis, Kruskal-Wallis, and Bonferroni to make estimations considering the gender and age factors. The SEM related the elements of personal development and finances. The results show no significant change in the measures of work ability according to gender and age. It is observed that personal development and work alignment represent the most notable work ability factors. The relevance of studies on work ability remains essential to assessing working conditions.
