Con base en un modelo teórico de bienestar en el que se especifica el Optimismo como antecedente de la Satisfacción con la Vida, se quiere analizar si la Felicidad en el Trabajo explica la relación entre esas variables. El modelo se contrasta con otros dos, uno en el que la relación es explicada por la Felicidad en la Vida y otro en el que el antecedente es el Optimismo en el Trabajo. La variable edad fue controlada. Los análisis se hicieron con 197 casos de empleados de ocho empresas de Medellín, Colombia. Se encontró que la Felicidad en la Vida es en un mediador total de la relación entre Optimismo y Satisfacción con la Vida, la Felicidad en el Trabajo es un mediador parcial de esa relación y total de la que se da entre Optimismo en el Trabajo y Satisfacción con la Vida. La Edad no moduló las relaciones entre las variables. Se discuten las implicaciones de este hallazgo para las organizaciones que quieren favorecer el bienestar de sus trabajadores y para los trabajadores.Resumen alternativo:Based on a theoretical model of well-being in which Optimism is specified as the antecedent of Satisfaction with Life, we test whether Happiness at Work explains the relationship between these variables. The model is contrasted with two others. The first one explores if the relationship is explained by Happiness in Life, the second review whether Work Optimism is the antecedent. The age variable was controlled. We work with 197 cases of employees of eight companies from Medellín, Colombia. We found that Happiness in Life is a total mediator of the relationship between Optimism and Satisfaction with Life, Happiness in the Work is a partial mediator of that relationship, but total of the one between Optimism in Work and Satisfaction with the life. The Age did not modulate the relationships between variables. The implications of this findings for organizations are discussed that want to promote the wellbeing in their workers.
