Resumo

O objetivo deste estudo foi examinar a relação entre conectividade social fora do trabalho e a satisfação no trabalho em teletrabalhadores mexicanos durante a pandemia COVID-19. O método de pesquisa foi correlacional, não experimental e transversal. Os dados foram coletados em uma amostra não probabilística de 214 indivíduos por meio de um questionário online autoaplicável. Os resultados sugerem que a relação entre conectividade social fora do trabalho e satisfação no trabalho é positiva e mediada por bem-estar afetivo positivo. O efeito mediador do bem-estar afetivo positivo não é moderado pelo estilo de atribuição otimista. Dada a importância da satisfação no trabalho, as organizações devem facilitar a interação frequente de seus funcionários com pessoas fora do trabalho.
