Predicción de la satisfacción y el bienestar en el trabajo: hacia un modelo de organización saludable en Colombia

Abstract

In this article we include data from a study conducted on a sample of 240 Colombian workers. The main objective was to determine if the perception of social climate, the job description (significance, responsibility, and knowledge of results), and the experience of flow can predict worker satisfaction and well-being in the workplace. Two theoretical models were designed, one with direct effects of social climate and job description over satisfaction and well–being, and the other with flow as a mediator variable, which were estimated by structural equations. Our results showed that the perception of social climate is a good predictor of satisfaction in organizations. Also, flow accurately and widely predicts satisfaction at work.
