description Starting from the identification of necessary requirements for a position, the purpose of this study is to propose the design of the generic job specification of a security guard. To do this, a qualitative research of a deductive nature is designed, based on data collection through semi-structured interviews. The field work is carried out on 22 representatives of the interested parties of security guard work in the northeast of Colombia. Subsequently, through a direct approach content analysis, a structured approach to the respective profile is obtained. The study finds that the requirements of the security guard job transcend the basic knowledge and skills in regulations, attention and handling of weapons, since it is essential to have a tendency towards a scrupulous personality, in addition to requiring a series of specific emotional aptitudes to perform appropriately the respective work.

To do this, a qualitative research of a deductive nature is designed, based on data collection through semi-structured interviews. The field work is carried out on 22 representatives of the interested parties of security guard work in the northeast of Colombia.

Partiendo de la identificación de requerimientos necesarios para un cargo, el presente estudio tiene por objeto proponer el diseño de especificación del trabajo genérico de un guardia de seguridad. Para ello, se diseña una investigación cualitativa de naturaleza deductiva, basada en la recolección de datos a través de entrevistas semi-estructuradas. El trabajo de campo se lleva a cabo sobre 22 representantes de las partes interesadas del trabajo de guardia de seguridad en el nor-oriente de Colombia. Posteriormente, mediante un análisis de contenido de aproximación directa, se obtiene un planteamiento estructurado del perfil respectivo. El estudio encuentra que los requerimientos del trabajo de guardia de seguridad trascienden los conocimientos y habilidades básicas en normativa, atención y manejo de armas, ya que resulta primordial poseer una tendencia hacia una personalidad escrupulosa, además de requerir una serie de aptitudes emocionales específicas para ejercer adecuadamente el trabajo respectivo.
