Resumen
Numerosos estudios ponen de manifiesto la importancia y los grandes beneficios del afecto positivo en el lugar de trabajo. En este contexto, tomando las variables vigor y engagement, nuestro interés en este estudio se centra en averiguar si el vigor, un tipo de afecto positivo, realiza aportaciones significativas sobre la explicación de los niveles de satisfacción laboral en trabajadores, más allá de las que ya sabemos que hace el engagement. Además, también se pretende determinar, el peso que cada una de las dimesiones de estos dos constructos tienen en esta tarea.
Para ello contamos con una muestra de 300 empleados de distintas provincias de España, aunque mayoritariamente procedentes de Jaén.
Tras estudiar las correlaciones y realizar análisis de regresión, los resultados mostraron cómo el vigor añadió un porcentaje extra de varianza a la ya explicada por el engagement. Las dimensiones de ambos constructos implicadas en esta explicación fueron la dedicación y la energía emocional.
Numerous studies show the importance and great benefits of positive affect in the workplace. In this context, and taking into account the variables of vigor and engagement, our interest in this study focuses on finding out if vigor, a positive affect type, makes significant contributions in order to explain the different job satisfaction levels in workers, beyond those related with engagement, that we already know. Besides, it is also expected to determine the weight that each of the dimensions of these two constructs have in this task. In this sense, we have a sample of 300 employees who came from several Spain provinces, even if most of them are from Jaén. Once we have studied the correlations and performing regression analysis, the results showed how vigor added an extra percentage of variance to the one already explained by engagement. The dimensions of both constructs involved in this explanation were dedication and emotional energy.
