ABSTRACT
RESUMEN Objetivo Analizar los efectos de la estabilidad contractual de los profesores universitarios en las dimensiones psicosociales de satisfacción, salud y estrés. Método Estudio descriptivo cuasi-experimental, tomando como muestra a 145 profesores de siete universidades públicas catalanas. El estudio se realizó durante el mes de abril de 2014. Se utilizó como base el cuestionario ISTAS21, versión media, en lengua castellana, del Cuestionario Psicosocial de Copenhaguen. De las 21 escalas incluidas, sólo se han tenido en cuenta las siete escalas relacionadas con los factores evaluados. Se realizaron una serie de análisis de varianza (ANOVA) considerando las puntuaciones obtenidas en las tres dimensiones psicosociales evaluadas como variables dependientes y la estabilidad laboral (permanencia y dedicación laboral) como variable independiente. Resultados Los profesores de tiempo completo con contratos laborales temporales muestran una peor salud física y mental -a pesar de ser el grupo más joven-, mayores síntomas de estrés y una menor satisfacción laboral, en comparación con profesores a tiempo completo y contrato estable; o profesores de tiempo parcial. Conclusiones La estabilidad laboral tiene repercusiones en la salud y calidad de vida laboral de los profesores que se encuentran en situación de inestabilidad, teniendo ello además repercusiones en la docencia y la investigación.(AU)
ABSTRACT Objective There's a lot of literature about teachers' work conditions and the effects of such conditions on them. The goal of this research focuses on the analysis of the effects derived from the type of labour relationship with the University on the psycho-social dimensions of satisfaction, stress and perceived health. Methods Quasi-experimental study on a sample of 145 university professors from the seven public universities from Catalonia (Spain). The data was obtained in April 2014, by means of ISTAS21 questionnaire, intermediate version, in Spanish. From the 21 subscales in the instrument, only seven were used for data-gathering since they encompassed the dimensions of interest. A series of ANOVA analyses were performed, taking the three psycho-social dimensions as dependent variables and work stability and dedication (e.g. full- vs. partial-time) as independent variables. Results Professors with full-time work and unstable contracts showed worse health (both physical and mental) despite being the youngest, as well as larger symptoms of stress and lower job-satisfaction, compared with full-time professors with stable contracts and even compared part-time-jobs professors. Conclusion Job-stability seems to be a central variable in work-quality and health for the professors whose labour situation is unstable, something that influences both their teaching and research quality.(AU)

El objetivo de esta investigación fue analizar la posible incidencia que tienen los comportamientos disruptivos (instruccional y convencional) en el aula sobre el rendimiento académico. Respecto al método, la muestra se configuró con un total de 391 participantes y se utilizó la escala ig de indisciplina, la cual discrimina tipos de comportamientos disruptivos en el aula. Los resultados y conclusiones muestran congruencia con la existencia de dos factores diferenciados que explican la indisciplina escolar, y que se han denominado indisciplina instruccional e indisciplina convencional. Además, se ha confirmado que los comportamientos característicos de la indisciplina instruccional se correlacionan negativa y significativamente con el rendimiento académico.
The objective of this study is to analyze the possible impact of disruptive classroom behaviors (instructional and conventional) on academic performance. Regarding the method, the sample consisted of 391 participants and utilized the ig scale for lack of discipline, which classifies types of disruptive behaviors in the classroom. The results and conclusions show congruence with the existence of two distinct factors that explain the lack of discipline in school, referred to as instructional lack of discipline and conventional lack of discipline. Furthermore, it has been confirmed that the characteristic behaviors of instructional lack of discipline correlate negatively and significantly with academic achievement.
