Empoderamiento y relación con la satisfacción laboral en personas con movilidad reducida

Abstract

espanolEn este estudio se explora la posible asociacion entre diferentes perfles de empoderamiento y la satisfaccion laboral de una muestra de trabajadores con movilidad reducida. La Escala de Satisfaccion Laboral General (1979) y la Escala de Empoderamiento (1997), fueron administradas a 67 trabajadores con movilidad reducida, con edades comprendidas entre 26 y 52 anos (M=31,22, D.T.= 1,35). Los resultados indicaron que los participantes presentaron niveles moderados de satisfaccion laboral, observandose que los trabajadores con mayor nivel de empoderamiento indicaron mayor satisfaccion laboral. Asimismo, el indice de correlacion mostro una alta asociacion entre satisfaccion laboral y empoderamiento. Esto sugiere que el contexto laboral es uno de los ambitos prioritarios para fomentar el empoderamiento de los trabajadores con movilidad reducida y con ello mejorar su bienestar laboral. EnglishThe present study is aimed to analyse the possible association between different profles of empowerment and job satisfaction by using a sample of workers with reduced mobility. The Overall Job Satisfaction Scale (1979) and the Empowerment Scale (1997) were administered to 67 people with reduced mobility, between 26 to 52 years of age (M= 31.22; SD= 1.35). Results showed moderated levels of job satisfaction among participants, and that such satisfaction was even higher in workers with a high level of empowerment. Likewise, the correlation index showed a high association between job satisfaction and empowerment. This suggests that the labour context is one of the priority areas to promote the empowerment of workers with reduced mobility, and therefore, to improve their work well-being.
