Objective. This intercultural empirical study is based on the assumptions of the psychology of subjective welfare applied to a working environment. With a comparative general purpose, studies were conducted in the first instance on the relationship and influence of factors of affectiveness, personality, and of a demographic nature on the wellbeing of non-university professors from Spain and México in their places of work. Subsequently, a set of factors which offered a better prediction of genuine work-related satisfaction was determined. Method. Peter Warr's three axes model (2003) was adopted to measure work-related wellbeing, taking into consideration mental activation. A sample of 133 Spanish professors from the the Guipúzcoa province and a further 101 Mexican professors from the state of Colima answered a battery of questions with four validated instruments. Results. The results obtained showed that there are significant personal differences in the perception of work-related wellbeing between the two cultures. Affectiveness (positive and negative) predicts work-related satisfaction (high and low) for both samples. Conclusion. For the Spanish professors, pleasantness and an open mind predicted a high level of satisfaction, but for the Mexicans the only predictive factor was pleasantness.
