Resumo: | This paper analyzes the differential effects of autonomy, skill variety, work significance, feedback from the job, and information processing on intrinsic and extrinsic job satisfaction, and the moderating role of psychological capital (PsyCap) in these relationships. The influence of job characteristics on job satisfaction has been well established in previous research, but the distinction between intrinsic and extrinsic satisfaction has hardly been considered. Moreover, their effects also depend on workers’ characteristics. PsyCap is a set of resources (self-efficacy, optimism, hope, and resilience) that could strengthen the positive effects of job characteristics and provide protection from negative ones. Hierarchical regressions analyzed data from 1647 workers in Spanish organizations. Results showed positive relationships between autonomy and feedback from the job and the two satisfaction dimensions, whereas significance and information processing were negatively related to extrinsic satisfaction. Moreover, PsyCap strengthens the positive effect of information processing and autonomy on intrinsic satisfaction, and it weakens the negative effect of information processing on extrinsic satisfaction. However, it also increases the negative effect of significance on extrinsic satisfaction. Therefore, job enrichment would be beneficial for intrinsic satisfaction, especially for people with high PsyCap, but it could be negative for extrinsic satisfaction. |

A influência das características do trabalho na satisfação laboral está bem estabelecida na literatura, mas a distinção entre a satisfação intrínseca e a satisfação extrínseca raramente foi considerada. Além disso, os seus efeitos também dependem das características dos trabalhadores, como o seu PsyCap. Este remete para um conjunto de recursos (autoeficácia, otimismo, esperança e resiliência) que pode potenciar os efeitos positivos das características do trabalho e oferecer proteção face aos negativos. Por recurso a regressões hierárquicas foram analisados dados de 1647 trabalhadores em organizações espanholas. Os resultados mostraram relações positivas entre autonomia e feedback no trabalho e ambas as dimensões da satisfação, enquanto o significado e o processamento de informação foram negativamente relacionados com a satisfação extrínseca. Embora o PsyCap aumente o efeito positivo do processamento de informação e da autonomia na satisfação intrínseca e enfraqueça o efeito negativo do processamento de informação na satisfação extrínseca, também aumenta o efeito negativo do significado na satisfação extrínseca. Portanto, o enriquecimento do trabalho tende a ser benéfico para a satisfação intrínseca, especialmente para pessoas com alto nível de PsyCap, mas negativo considerando a satisfação extrínseca.Imprensa da Universidade de Coimbra2019-07-31info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttps://doi.org/10.14195/1647-8606_62-1_2https://doi.org/10.14195/1647-8606_62-1_2Psychologica; Vol. 62 No. 1 (2019); 39-56Psychologica; Vol. 62 N.º 1 (2019); 39-561647-86060871-465710.14195/1647-8606_62-1reponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAPenghttps://impactum-journals.uc.pt/psychologica/article/view/1647-8606_62-1_2https://impactum-journals.uc.pt/psychologica/article/view/1647-8606_62-1_2/5519García, David MontesaMolina, Isabel RodríguezMarco, Jorge Magdalenoinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2023-05-31T13:59:42Zoai:impactum-journals.uc.pt:article/7005Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-19T17:58:18.403058Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse |
