Clima social, Descripción del trabajo, Satisfacción, BienestarAbstract
En el presente artículo se incluyen los datos correspondientes a un estudio realizado con 240 trabajadorescolombianos, que tuvo como objetivo principal determinar si la percepción del clima social, la descripción
del trabajo (significación, responsabilidad y conocimiento de resultados) y la experiencia de fluidez (Flow)
permiten predecir la satisfacción y el bienestar en el trabajo. Se dise˜naron 2 modelos teóricos, uno de
ellos con efectos directos del clima social y la descripción del trabajo sobre la satisfacción y el bienestar, y
otro con la variable flow como mediadora, estimados mediante ecuaciones estructurales. Los resultados
mostraron que la percepción del clima social es un buen predictor de satisfacción en las organizaciones.
Asimismo, el flow predice de manera precisa y amplia el sentirse satisfecho en el trabajo.
