Introduction. Occupational well-being is crucial for medical internship tutors, since psychosocial factors such as workload, organizational support, and stress impact their performance and medical teaching. Objective. This study aimed to identify the association between psychosocial work factors and job performance in medical internship tutors at a university in Lima in 2024. Materials and Methods. An observational, cross-sectional, and analytical study was conducted with 96 medical internship tutors in Human Medicine surveyed using validated questionnaires by Reynoso et al. and Ocharán-Guardia. Sociodemographic variables, psychosocial work factors, and job performance were analyzed. Results. Of the 96 tutors, 64% were men, 70.8% were married, and 79% had at least one child. In the statistical analysis, psychosocial work factors were found to have a positive association with job performance (p = 0.001, RPA = 1.344, 95% CI: 1.231-2.051), a negative association with interpersonal relationships (p = 0.036; RPA = 0.782; 95% CI: 0.586 - 0.944) and practical skills (p = 0.012; RPC = 1.178; 95% CI: 1.060 to 1.310). However, no statistically significant association was found with job satisfaction (p > 0.05). Conclusion. This study showed a statistically significant positive association between psychosocial work factors and job performance in general terms.
