CATANO MENA, INGRID e ANDRADE JARAMILLO, VERÓNICA. Labor conditions and transformations in the meanings of work in Colombian professional immigrants in Rancagua, Chile. Psicol. caribe [online]. 2021, vol.38, n.2, pp.189-216. Epub 13-Dez-2021. ISSN 0123-417X. https://doi.org/10.14482/psdc.38.2.15.
The objective of this research was to study the relationship between the working conditions and transformations in the meanings of work in Colombian migrant professionals of Rancagua (Chile), explained from Siegrist's effort-reward imbalance model, and the theory of the two hygienic and motivational factors exposed by Herzberg and collaborators. A qualitative investigation was carried out through semi-structured interviews with seven participants, with biographical narrative design, analyzed through narrative lines and life stories. It was found that the meanings are configured according to the working conditions offered by each work context, whether it is the country of origin or destination. The meanings of the participants varied in the centrality which became relative, the expansion and reinforcement of labor rights and duties, and the strengthening of labor values (desired aspects at work) related to better working conditions and quality of life. Work went from being conceived mainly as a source of subsistence to being a source of personal growth and fulfillment. Further research is suggested with a larger number of participants as well as from a quantitative perspective in order to enhance working conditions within the colombian territory and safeguard the talent drain to job markets with greater conditions.
