Abstract
espanolLos estudios que indagan en el funcionamiento psicologico de los inmigrantes ponen de relevancia el impacto negativo de la discriminacion sobre el bienestar psicologico. Asi tambien existe consenso respecto de la importancia del trabajo en su ajuste en paises receptores; no obstante, escasamente se ha estudiado el efecto de la empleabilidad en su bienestar. Este trabajo indaga en las relaciones entre la discriminacion percibida, la empleabilidad y el bienestar psicologico de 100 inmigrantes latinoamericanos asentados en Chile. Se busco determinar la contribucion de la discriminacion y la empleabilidad en la explicacion del bienestar y establecer la incidencia de la empleabilidad en la relacion entre discriminacion y bienestar psicologico. La discriminacion percibida y la empleabilidad explicaron el 31.5% de la variabilidad del bienestar y la empleabilidad medio la relacion entre discriminacion y bienestar. Se discute acerca de la empleabilidad como recurso psicosocial en el contexto de la inmigracion. EnglishResearch about immigrants’ psychological functioning emphasizes the negative impact of discrimination on psychological well-being. Although there is agreement about the relevance of job access to immigrants’ adjustment to host countries, employability’s effects on immigrants’ well-being have been scarcely studied. The purpose of this study was to examine the relationships between perceived discrimination, employability, and psychological well-being in a sample of 100 Latin-American immigrants settled in Chile. We aimed to determine the contribution of discrimination and employability on well-being’s explanation, and to establish the incidence of employability on the relation between discrimination and well-being. Perceived discrimination and employability explained the 31.5% of well-being’s variability, and employability mediated the relation between discrimination and well-being. Employability’s role as a psychosocial resource in a migratory context is discussed.
