Resumen
El estudio explora cómo se entrelazan la Responsabilidad Social Empresarial (RSE), el grado de observancia de la normativa laboral vigente y la forma en que se integran los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible (ODS) en la gestión cotidiana de las empresas ecuatorianas. A partir de una encuesta aplicada a 102 organizaciones y de procedimientos de análisis estadístico, se identifican niveles diferenciados de compromiso en cada eje y una convergencia limitada entre ellos. Los resultados ponen de relieve que el componente normativo vinculado al cumplimiento del derecho del trabajo se relaciona de manera más consistente con la sostenibilidad laboral, mientras que las iniciativas voluntarias de RSE exhiben efectos más variados y con menor grado de integración a los ODS. Se argumenta que avanzar hacia una articulación efectiva de estos tres pilares requiere estrategias coordinadas, indicadores verificables y mecanismos de seguimiento que conecten los compromisos voluntarios con resultados laborales observables.
