“…While studies of the performance effects of employee involvement programs have yielded mixed results, the positive effect of these practices on many employee outcomes, such as satisfaction, has been strongly supported (Gershenfeld 1987;Marks et al 1986;Kochan, Katz and Mower 1984). Freeman and Kleiner (2000), for example, conclude that the effect of employee involvement programs on productivity and profitability is slight, while these programs do significantly improve worker well-being.…”

SummaryThis study examines the effect of employee involvement and job insecurity on employee satisfaction and commitment. A data set incorporating information from employees, managers and government sources in fifteen hospitals in a single metropolitan region in the United States is used to test these issues. In contrast to previous research, we find that workers’ satisfaction and commitment persist as long as the form of employee involvement in place increases worker input and control in their jobs and as long as management is perceived to be making clear efforts to enhance the future security of workers’ jobs. Employee perception of management effort to maintain employment security, however, is based on past downsizing within the organization, thus raising the potential that continued downsizing will increase insecurity and therefore will decrease both employee desire to participate in decision-making, as well as employee satisfaction and commitment to the organization.

“…In the subjective dimension, job quality is linked, among others things, to certain worker characteristics like satisfaction, attitudes, motivation, commitment and pride (Marks et al, 1986;Cohen et al, 1997;Sirgy, 2001). In the objective dimension, job quality is linked to characteristics like security, lighting, ergonomics, technology, management systems and organisational processes (Wilcock and Wright, 1991;Souza-Poza, 2000;Vieira and Díaz-Serrano, 2005).…”

“…En la dimensión subjetiva, la calidad del empleo se vincula, entre otras, con algunas caracterís-ticas de los trabajadores como la satisfacción, actitudes, motivación, compromiso y orgullo (Sirgy 2001;Cohen, Chang y Ledford 1997;Marks et al 1986). En la dimensión objetiva aparecen características como la seguridad, iluminación, ergonomía, tecnología, sistemas de gestión y procesos organizativos (Vieira y Más recientemente, la flexibilización, segmentación e individualización de los mercados de trabajo, la aparición de nuevas prácticas de organización del empleo, la revolución tecnológica, y la creciente tensión entre cantidad y calidad de trabajo, surgida como resultado de la reciente crisis económica internacional, han impulsado nuevas orientaciones de la investigación sobre el merca- También se ha evidenciado que la calidad del empleo repercute en la salud física, psíquica y emocional del trabajador, lo que acaba por impactar en los resultados de las organizaciones (Cottini and Lucifora 2013;harter, Schmidt y hayes 2002;Lau y May 1998).…”

A través de una muestra representativa para 8.755 empleados asalariados en 2010, y utilizando un sistema de ecuaciones estructurales, este artículo analiza empíricamente los determinantes multidimensionales (efectos directos) de la calidad percibida del empleo en España. La investigación concluye que la calidad del empleo combina un amplio conjunto de dimensiones explicativas que están vinculadas con el propio puesto de trabajo (calidad intrínseca, organización, inclusión y acceso y compensación), pero también con su entorno y las relaciones laborales (relaciones sociales, intensidad del empleo, formación, y salud y seguridad en el trabajo). Por consiguiente, las políticas públicas de empleo para la salida de la crisis no solo deberían abordar la calidad del puesto de trabajo, sino también atender a las dimensiones vinculadas con su entorno y las relaciones laborales.

The research concludes that the perceived work quality combines a broad set of explanatory dimensions that are linked with de workplace itself (intrinsic work quality, organization, access and inclusion, and compensations), but also with their environment and labor relations (social relations, work intensity, skills and training, and health and safety). Therefore, the public employment policies for ending the economic crisis should not only address the quality or workplace, but also meet the dimensions related to their environment and labor relations.
