ABSTRACT
This paper analyses job satisfaction and differences in factors affecting it among workers with an intellectual disability and mental illness (MI) depending on their work regime [special employment regime (SER) or occupational service (OS)]. To do so, answers were analysed from 874 participants on a Job Satisfaction Scale used in sheltered workshops in Spain. The results indicate that job satisfaction among workers with intellectual disability and MI in both the SER and the OS regimes is high, with the highest job satisfaction deriving from the Items of communicating problems to resolve them. The lowest levels of job satisfaction are related to the opportunity to take decisions and participate at work. In the majority of the Items analysed, no differences were found on the basis of the age groups considered nor the gender of the participants.

La presente investigación tiene como objetivo analizar las características psicométricas de la adaptación para población española del Interpersonal Reactivity Index (IRI, Davis, 1980), un instrumento que evalúa la empatía disposicional en adultos. La escala fue administrada a una muestra de padres y madres de la población general (N = 692), y dos muestras de estudiantes universitarios (N = 1.997 y N = 515). Los resultados muestran que la versión española del IRI posee características psicométricas similares a las de la versión original y permiten concluir que la versión en español del IRI es adecuada para ser utilizada en España en la investigación sobre empatía (AU)
The objective of the present study was to analyze psychometric properties of the Interpersonal Reactivity Index (IRI) Spanish version. The scale was administered to one sample of parents (N = 692) and to two samples of college students (N = 1997 and N = 515). Results showed that the Spanish version of the IRI has psychometric properties similar to those of the original version and lead to conclude that the IRI Spanish version is an adequate instrument to be used in Spain as a measure of empathy (AU)
