Título: Relación entre la gratitud y la satisfacción con la vida en una muestra de Estudiantes Españoles: El papel moderador del género. Resumen: El presente estudio pretende examinar la relación entre la gratitud y la satisfacción vital en una muestra de estudiantes universitarios españoles. En esta investigación se utilizó la escala de Gratitud (GQ-6; McCullough et al., 2002) y la escala de Satisfacción con la vida (SWLS;Diener et al., 1985). Los datos, del análisis de regresión lineal, mostraron que la gratitud predice la satisfacción con la vida (en el bienestar físico y psicoló-gico). Por otro lado, en la relación entre ambos términos, se encontraron diferencias de género. Al final del trabajo, se exponen unas conclusiones y, también, se discuten las limitaciones del presente estudio. Palabras clave: gratitud; satisfacción con la vida; género; estudiantes universitarios; España. Abstract:The aim of this study is to examine the relationship between gratitude and life satisfaction among university students in Spain. The present study seeks to assess gratitude by means of a self-report Gratitude Questionnaire (GQ-6; McCullough et al., 2002) and Life Satisfaction scale (SWLS; Diener et al., 1985). Using a multiple linear regression analysis, the relationship between life satisfaction and gratitude is analyzed. The results suggest that gratitude significantly predicts life satisfaction (on psychological and physical well-being), while on the other hand, differences exist with regard to gender in the relationship between gratitude and life satisfaction. The significance and limitations of the present findings are discussed.

There are a number of objectives that guide this work. First, we aimed to identify the general characteristics of Andalusian companies in terms their approach to social responsibility, particularly in the area of human resources and environmental impact. Second, we aimed to identify the particularities of social responsibility within the productive sector. For this, a questionnaire was designed, which was administered to 365 executives belonging to different sectors. The results show that the greatest concern of Andalusian companies is the satisfaction of their employees, followed by energy saving measures, and environmental impact. We also found differences according to the productive sector studied. In particular, while in the agricultural and livestock sectors the human elements appear to be of importance, the industrial and commercial sectors pay more attention to environmental elements. However, the data highlight the need to continue working within this area of research, adopting a preventive or proactive approach.

The objective of this study is to analyze the relationship between the variables of transformational leadership, climate and commitment in a sample of 319 workers of a multinational organization in the Colombian Services Sector. For data collection, we used the Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire (MLQ), the climate/culture questionnaire FOCUS-93 and the Intellectual, Social and Affective Commitment Scale (ISA). Data were processed with SPSS 23 and AMOS 22 for modeling with structural equations. In the path diagram, calculated according to the indicators of structural adjustments, variances were obtained for the dimensions of organizational commitment. The resulting model presented favorable adjustment indicators as evidenced in the results, and the relationship between commitment and climate was significant (β = 4.61; p = 0.001), as well as between climate and commitment (β = 0.018; p = 0.001). However, the relationship between transformational leadership and commitment was not direct but mediated through organizational climate.

Introducción.  Se realiza un estudio ex post facto cuyo objetivo consiste en analizar la relación entre la motivación de logro y la inteligencia emocional en las metas vitales de los estudiantes, para conocer si la inteligencia emocional es una variable mediadora entre la motivación de logro y las metas vitales. Método.  El trabajo se llevó a cabo en una muestra de 311 estudiantes universitarios, en los que se aplicaron las escalas de Trait Meta-Mood Scale (TMMS; Salovey et al., 1995), Escala de motivación de logro (ML; Morales, 2006) y escala de Metas en la vida (Wilding y Andrews, 2006). Se realizó un análisis de mediación, utilizando la macro PROCESS de SPSS, con técnicas brootstrapping (10000 brootstrapping, modelo 4 con un nivel de confianza del 95%). Resultados. Los resultados indican que la motivación de logro influye positivamente y significativamente sobre la inteligencia emocional y las metas vitales. Además, encontramos que la relación entre la motivación de logro y las metas vitales se encuentra mediada positivamente y significativamente por la inteligencia emocional. Discusión y conclusiones. Con estos hallazgos, nuestra investigación podría ofrecer una contribución innovadora ofreciendo un modelo teórico que muestra la relación establecida entre las variables, en el que se aprecia el papel amortiguador que la inteligencia emocional presenta en la influencia de la relación entre la motivación de logro y las metas vitales.

nalysis of service quality from the perspective of the customer has generated much attention. The scale most used to develop such studies is the SERVQUAL. This tool has undergone much criticism, mainly focusing on the situational instability shown by the dimensions in certain cases. This work does not reject the proposals of that instrument, but attempts to improve its internal consistency and assess its dimensional structure. To do this, the Enlarged Service Quality Scale (ESQS) has been designed and applied to the university context. The ESQS is mainly characterized by compensating the number of items in all the dimensions, seeking better intra-dimensional consistency. The results confirm the applicability of this scale in non-educational university services, show considerable improvement in its consistency and, further, indicate that the traditional dimensions of SERVQUAL can be reduced and clustered in the macro categories, interactive quality and physical quality. The data also demonstrate the importance of the dimensions related to personalized treatment and interaction in user satisfaction.
