NADER, Martín; PENA BERNATE, Sandra Patricia  and  SANTA-BARBARA, Emilio Sánchez. Prediction of satisfaction and well-being at work: Towards a model of healthy organization in Colombia. estud.gerenc. [online]. 2014, vol.30, n.130, pp.31-39. ISSN 0123-5923.

In this article we include data from a study conducted on a sample of 240 Colombian workers. The main objective was to determine if the perception of social climate, the job description (significance, responsibility, and knowledge of results), and the experience of flow can predict worker satisfaction and well-being in the workplace. Two theoretical models were designed, one with direct effects of social climate and job description over satisfaction and well–being, and the other with flow as a mediator variable, which were estimated by structural equations. Our results showed that the perception of social climate is a good predictor of satisfaction in organizations. Also, flow accurately and widely predicts satisfaction at work.

Keywords : Social climate; Job description; Satisfaction; Well-being.
