摘要
The objective of this study is to determine the level of job satisfaction experienced by social workers and to establish whether there are significant differences between the various levels of job satisfaction and a series of personal features and job characteristics. The participants were 947 social workers (861 women and 86 men) belonging to 35 of the 36 Professional Associations existing in Spain. The measurement tool used is the Job Satisfaction Survey scale, designed by Spector [2002. Psicologia Industrial y Organizacional: Investigacion y Practica [Industrial and organizational psychology: Research and practice]. Mexico: Manual Moderno]. The results show that the social workers surveyed experience moderate levels of job satisfaction (M=115.8; SD=21.4). The intrinsic factor that seems to have the greatest positive influence on job satisfaction is the nature of the job, while the extrinsic factors of pay, fringe benefits, and operating conditions are the ones that contribute most to job dissatisfaction, and social workers have no control over any of them. RESUMENEl objetivo de este estudio fue determinar el nivel de satisfaccion laboral experimentado por los trabajadores sociales y examinar si hay diferencias significativas entre los diferentes niveles de satisfaccion laboral y una serie de caracteristicas personales y del puesto de trabajo. Los participantes fueron 947 trabajadores sociales, pertenecientes a 35 de los 36 Colegios Profesionales existentes en Espana (861 mujeres y 86 hombres). El instrumento de medida utilizado fue la escala Job Satisfaction Survay (JSS) disenada por Spector (1997). Los resultados mostraron que los trabajadores sociales encuestados experimentan niveles moderados de satisfaccion en el trabajo (M=115,8; DT=21,4). El factor intrinseco que mayor influencia positiva tiene sobre la satisfaccion laboral seria la naturaleza del trabajo, mientras que los factores extrinsecos remuneracion, beneficios y condiciones de trabajo son quienes mas contribuyen a la insatisfaccion laboral. Los factores que mas contribuyen a la insatisfaccion laboral son factores sobre los que los trabajadores sociales no tienen control.
