This paper determines a model to analyze the effect of the job-related features on the labour satisfaction. The empirical contrast uses the Quality of Labour Life Survey corresponding to the year 2010 (Ministry of Labour and Immigration, Spain), and the applied model is the stepwise regression. The independent variables which explain the labour satisfaction are by importance: motivation, activity, labour organization, wage, working day, boss valuation, stability, personal development, holidays and permissions, and promotion possibilities. Results show that all the regression coefficients are positive and significant and the goodness of the final model is satisfactory because the independent variables are referred only to the organization characteristics.

The purpose of the present study was to examine the contribution of organizational, personal and demographic variables in predicting perceived levels of burnout in a sample of 171 teachers working in public and private education institutions (preschool, elementary school, and middle school). Participants completed measures of job satisfaction, work stress, perceived teacher working context (supervisory support, lack of professional recognition, organizational conditions, and professional worry), affectivity, and socio-demographics (age, sex, marital status, religion, job experience, kind of education institution, and level in teaching). Results of a series of multiple regression analyses indicated that organizational variables were differentially related to dimensions of burnout, whereas negative affect appeared to act as a general predictor of vulnerability. Job stress and low work satisfaction were strong predictors of emotional exhaustion. Results provide relevant information to determine the protective and vulnerability factors as to teacher burnout.

We analyze the relationship among psychological growth (Openness to Change, Management of failure and Flexibility) and job performance (extrarrol, intrarrol and Compliance), mediated by overall job satisfaction. This study used a sample of 731 employees and their immediate boss of five Colombian companies from the industrial and service sectors. The results using structural equation (SEM) show that job satisfaction partially mediates between openness to change and extrarrol performance (assessed by the immediate boss). Flexibility and openness to change are positively and directly associated with overall job satisfaction and this predicts extrarrol performance and compliance, assessed by the boss.

The article reports on research which was conducted to investigate job satisfaction and perceived levels of social support among workers at the University Hospital Marqués de Valdecilla in Spain. Researchers evaluated 676 workers with a questionnaire. They found that job satisfaction was neutral but that there were differences in satisfaction related to age, civil status and occupational area and that employees were happiest with workplace relationships, job security and assigned responsibilities.

This article analyzes the reality of wages for Chilean journalists, the importance they place on wages, their levels of satisfaction, and the effects of individual and contextual factors on how much they earn for their work. The figures show the salaries of Chilean journalists are low in relation to other media professionals and compared to other professions. Pay satisfaction levels also are quite low. Nevertheless, the results indicate that salary is one of the two aspects journalists give more importance to in their work. The study also demonstrates that professional experience, level of hierarchy, region, job satisfaction, working hours, the type of journalistic medium and having multiple jobs are the factors that have the greatest influence on the salary of Chilean journalists.

Results obtained from a literature review of scientific articles related to job satisfaction published between the years 2000 and 2010, are presented. Findings of research studies analyzed indicate the relationship between leadership, some aspects of the supervision, groups, teams and its influence on job satisfaction. The revised bibliography noted mainly the positive relationship between transformational leadership and the SWA model of supervision on job satisfaction. Also the importance of the influence of certain aspects such as the efficacy group, group cohesion and the need to share values for group work be more satisfying than individual work.

Los datos de seis olas (1996-2001) del Panel de Hogares de la Unión Europea (PHOGUE) indican que los trabajadores que cobran salarios bajos están mucho menos contentos que los que perciben una remuneración alta en el sur de Europa, si bien no ocurre lo mismo en los países del norte. Los empleos europeos de remuneración modesta no son forzosamente malos, aunque sí lo son en algunos países donde un sector de los trabajadores sufre de lleno el doble infortunio del trabajo mediocre con salario bajo. Las diferencias nacionales obedecen a las características propias de la transacción entre flexibilidad y seguridad, por lo que es esencial impulsar políticas que mejoren la calidad del trabajo.

Considering the development of the Social-Cognitive theory carried out by A. Bandura, this article is aimed at analyzing the characteristics of an instrument used to assess satisfaction among teachers of primary and secondary schools and its relationship with beliefs or perceptions about the effectiveness of their working environment. To this end, we selected a sample made up of 500 non-university teachers (250 from primary education and 250 from secondary education) from schools in the Autonomous Community of Galicia. The subjects were asked to fill in a questionnaire made up of 43 closed-category questions in Likert scale format. Two confirmatory factorial analyses were performed in order to check whether the factorial structure of the scale was appropriate according to its size, which led us to a 13-item scale with a good reliability (α=.958) and validity. Moreover, the results and proper adjustment that we obtained allow us to establish a very rough framework of the influence relationships between the different dimensions proposed by the final model.

This paper offers a (re)construction of the point of view of public transport drivers that in Mexico are derogatorily called "chafiretes". "Chafiretes" are a typical figure in Latin American cities. By taking their point of view I aim to explain part of the passion they feel for their profession. I consider this passion to be a key element in understanding a certain urban way of life. In this investigation, I assume an inside perspective on what these drivers have to say about their work, and at the same time I explore the collective origins for why these drivers experience value in their jobs and maintain a loyalty to all what transport means as an institution. This involves learning their specific social needs, their universe and their problems, so as to get closer to the infrastructure in which they move -that is, their locality in the social spaces of their neighborhood and city-. This perspective looks to establish a contrast between the different testimonies of the drivers and explains how this negative image is frequently selfconstructed by themselves. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
