LAPUENTE, Lucas; KANTER, Pablo Ezequiel Flores; NAVARRO, Roger Muñoz  and  MEDRANO, Leonardo Adrián. Evaluation of a socio-cognitive model of job satisfaction in Argentine workers. Estud. psicol. (Natal) [online]. 2019, vol.24, n.1, pp. 12-20. ISSN 1413-294X.  http://dx.doi.org/10.22491/1678-4669.20190002.

Many theories have been developed in order to identify the factors that explain job satisfaction. One of them is the Cognitive Social Model of Profession proposed by Lent. This model proposes to integrate affective-dispositional and situational factors (working conditions) with socio-cognitive and behavioural elements, which affect job satisfaction. The purpose of this investigation was to verify the adjustment of the model to the Argentinean context through the analysis of structural equations. The variables included explain 64% of the variability in labour satisfaction. Likewise, most of the paths suggested by this model make a significant contribution to satisfaction, both directly and indirectly. Considering the results obtained, preventive, promotional or solution measures can be proposed for situations of labour dissatisfaction.

Keywords : job satisfaction; workers; professional development.
