Psychosocial risk factors are present in the worker’s environment and his perception about them depends on a variety of causes. This study, a non-experimental and cross-sectional one, was carried out in a manufacturing industry in Southern Jalisco, Mexico, whose objective was to evaluate the perception of personnel on psychosocial factors, through the Working Conditions of Psychosocial Character Battery. Regarding the company staff, 84.9% of the workers rated their perception of Individual Factors as good or very good, which makes them likely immune to Psychological Exhaustion, while for the Work Content variable, 55.2% of them rated their perception as good or very good, and for Work Context just 40.2%, resulting in a difference of 44.8 % and 59.8% respectively, a perception of normal, regular and harmful conditions, which turned them into a vulnerable psychosocial risk factor group for Psychological Exhaustion, which highlighted the  need for improvement actions.
