The economic contexts where the people (employees) participante as part of labor market affect directly the development of their skills and abilities. In economic theory this situation is motivated by the compensation that the employees obtain for their efforts in despite of their leisure time. However, there are situations in the organizational context that could affect individual's performance like professional stress.This research aims to analize, by means of qualitative and quantitative methods, social, economic and demographic factors associated with professional stress in the working population living in Cali. For this purpose, two econometric techniques are proposed: The first one refers to multiple correspondence analysis (MCa) that is used to construct a professional sress Index (PSI) taking into consideration a collection of variables that have been preliminarily selected. The second one technique is used for estimating an ordinal multinomial model, that could be useful to characterize the employees who has a high profile professional stress. The database used for the statistical and econometric analysis came from the Employment and Quality of Life Survey applied in the city of Cali by the Ministry of Labour and the Municipality of Santiago de Cali in the period November 2012 - January 2013.
