Abstract

El objetivo de este trabajo es identificar los factores determinantes del nivel de satisfacción laboral de los asalariados en España, haciendo especial hincapié en las diferencias de género y de nacionalidad. Para ello, se estima un modelo de respuesta múltiple ordenada, utilizando los datos de la Encuesta de Calidad de Vida en el Trabajo, para el periodo que abarca desde 2006 a 2010. Los resultados obtenidos muestran que, después de controlar por las características personales y laborales de los asalariados, se obtiene un diferencial positivo en la satisfacción laboral en favor de las mujeres, mientras que no se evidencia la existencia de un efecto diferencial entre los asalariados nativos e inmigrantes. Por otro lado, la estabilidad laboral, la implicación del trabajador con la empresa, un buen clima empresarial y la conciliación entre la vida laboral y familiar afectan positivamente en la satisfacción laboral, mientras que los desajustes formativos y de horas de trabajo influyen negativamente en el bienestar del trabajador. || The aim of this paper is to identify the explanatory factors of job satisfaction of employees in Spain, with special emphasis on gender and nationality differences. For doing that, an ordered multiple answer model will be estimated, using data from the Living Standards Quality in the Job corresponding to years 2006 to 2010. The results show that, after controlling by personal and employment characteristics of employees, there is a positive differential in job satisfaction level in favor of women. However, there is none of evidence that there is a nationality difference in job satisfaction. More- over, the job stability, employees involvement in their companies, a good business climate and conciliation between career and familiar life affect positively to job satisfaction, but the mismatch in training and in working hours influence negatively to satisfaction of employees.
