Movilidad social y satisfacción laboral en población española emigrada a Alemania / No disponible

Este artículo analiza la movilidad social y satisfacción laboral (SL) en una muestra de 200 inmigrantes en Alemania procedentes de diferentes lugares de España, comparando resultados para hombres y mujeres y para grupos con diferentes características sociales o formativas. Las variables evaluadas son: movilidad social, satisfacción laboral, burnout, características del puesto y ajuste laboral. Los resultados muestran que mujeres y varones tienen niveles similares en SL, cinismo y agotamiento, en tanto que los hombres se perciben más autoeficaces. Las clases sociales inferiores y los trabajadores con menores ingresos puntúan menos en SL y autoeficacia. El cinismo, la autoeficacia, la sobrecualificación y las características del puesto predicen tanto la SL extrínseca (50'2%) como la intrínseca (58'2%). Este estudio contribuye al conocimiento de la realidad laboral actual de los trabajadores inmigrantes entre países europeos

This article analyses social mobility and job satisfaction (JS) in immigrants, considering his burnout at work and other labour characteristics. In a sample of 200 migrants in Germany from different parts of Spain results for men and women and for groups with different social and educational characteristics are compared. The evaluated variables are: social mobility, job satisfaction, burnout, job characteristics and labour adjustment. The results show that women and men have similar levels in JS, cynicism and exhaustion; more men are perceived self-efficacy. The lower classes and workers with lower incomes scored least in JS and efficacy. Cynicism, self-efficacy, overqualification and job characteristics predict both extrinsic JS (50.2%) and intrinsic (58.2%). This study contributes to the understanding of the current labour situation of Spanish workers in a European country

Construction and validation of the community and socio-political participation scale (SCAP).

This article describes the development and validation of a new instrument, the scale (SCAP) which measures community participation (CP) and socio-political participation (SPP). The sample consists of 756 participants in Málaga, residents whose average age is 38.78 years old (SD = 13.96) and of whom 58.5% are women. The results endorse the psychometric qualities of the instrument. We present descriptive analysis of the items, the dimensionality of the scale and its internal consistency. The external evidence of validity shows positive and statistically significant correlations with sense of community and empowerment, variables theoretically related to participation. A confirmatory factor analysis confirms the two-dimensional structure (CP and SPP). Further analysis show a higher CP in women. This instrument extends the quantitative research on citizen participation.

Satisfacción laboral y Burnout en trabajos poco cualificados: diferencias entre sexos en población inmigrante / Job satisfaction and Burnout in low-skilled jobs: sex differences on the immigrant population

El objetivo de este estudio es profundizar en el análisis de la satisfacción laboral en trabajos de escasa cualificación realizados por personas inmigrantes, buscando posibles diferencias entre hombres y mujeres. Se analiza una muestra de 250 inmigrantes en España procedentes de diferentes culturas. Las variables evaluadas son: satisfacción laboral, burnout y diferentes características laborales. No se han encontrado diferencias entre hombres y mujeres respecto al burnout ni a la satisfacción laboral. Cinismo y agotamiento correlacionan negativamente con la satisfacción laboral. Los resultados del análisis de regresión muestran modelos predictivos diferentes según el sexo: en los hombres la eficacia profesional y el cinismo son más relevantes que en las mujeres, y entre ellas el agotamiento y el control estricto predicen de forma negativa la satisfacción laboral. Además, la satisfacción con el tiempo de libre y la estabilidad laboral predicen la satisfacción laboral en ambos grupos de inmigrantes(AU)

The variables evaluated across written questionnaire are: job satisfaction, burnout and some job characteristics. No differences were found between men and women in burnout or job satisfaction. So much cynicism as the depletion negatively correlated with job satisfaction. The results of the regression analysis showed predictive models differ according to sex: in men, the professional effectiveness and cynicism are more important than women; in women the exhaustion is negatively predicted job satisfaction. In addition, satisfaction with free time and job security predicts job satisfaction in both groups of immigrants(AU)
