CALIDAD DEL EMPLEO Y SATISFACCIÓN LABORAL EN EMIGRANTES ESPAÑOLES EN PAÍSES EUROPEOS

Abstract

The current labour market is characterized by high unemployment rates, temporality, segmentation and precarious conditions. ?e numerical facet of employment becomes the focus of all concerns once more, casting aside any efforts regarding quality. In this context, emigration becomes a possible alternative once again, as it was in the past, and job satisfaction studies by social psychologists become a necessary focus of interest. ?is paper outlines the factors that can determine the two dimensions of job satisfaction, both intrinsic and extrinsic ones, and the psychosocial effects for this population that derive from them. With them we intend to offer some intervention guidelines in order to improve quality of life and well-being in this group. Keywords: Spanish emigration, Work quality, labour market, Job satisfaction.
