Resumen

La satisfacción laboral es considerada una actitud frente a las experiencias laborales. En los últimos diez años su estudio se ha desplazado desde una posición periférica hasta el lugar central que ocupa en nuestros días. En línea con este renovado interés, el propósito del presente trabajo es proporcionar una actualización bibliográfica sobre la satisfacción laboral. En primer lugar, se realizan algunas consideraciones conceptuales en torno al constructo. A continuación, se presenta una síntesis de los instrumentos para su medición desarrollados hasta la fecha. Seguidamente, se reseñan las evidencias empíricas más recientes en relación a sus antecedentes contextuales y disposicionales, así como sus implicancias tanto para los empleados como para las organizaciones. Finalmente, se concluye con algunas sugerencias para futuras investigaciones.
