“…Entre las limitaciones del estudio se encuentra que la información se refiere al año 2005, podría no ser adecuado la extrapolación de los datos a la actualidad. En los últimos años, y sobre todo como consecuencia de la crisis económica, las condiciones laborales han empeorado en ciertos aspectos como una mayor inseguridad y una menor autonomía y apoyo de los compañeros 12 . Se debe tener en cuenta además, que MatEmESp contiene información sobre la exposición a factores psicosociales para un número limitado de ocupaciones y que el análisis que permiten Riesgos psicosociales por ocupación en España…”

RESUMENObjetivo: El objetivo del estudio es describir el nivel de exposición a riesgos psicosociales por ocupación en población laboral española y analizar su relación con condiciones de empleo y características sociodemográficas.Métodos: La Matriz Empleo Exposición Española (MatEmESp) es la fuente de información para la descripción de los niveles de exposición a riesgos psicosociales en 2005. Se identifican las ocupaciones con mayores niveles de exposición y se analiza su relación con condiciones de empleo y características sociodemográficas por ocupación.Resultados: Se encontraron niveles de exposición a influencia en el trabajo inferiores al punto medio de la escala (50, escala de 0 a 100) y a ritmo en el trabajo ligeramente por encima ( =46,8 y =50,8). Los niveles más elevados de exposición estaban en ocupaciones manuales, algunas cualificadas presentaban también alta inseguridad (Economistas) y ritmo de trabajo (Directores/as). Conforme disminuía el nivel de clase social y de estudios, aumentaba la inseguridad (rho=0,45 y 0,38 respectivamente), y disminuía el apoyo de los compañeros (rho=-0,46 y -0,48) y la influencia en el trabajo (rho=-0,73 y -0,63). Conforme aumentaba la proporción de extranjeros, disminuía el apoyo e influencia (rho=-0,44 y -0,43); conforme aumentaba el número de asalariados, disminuía la influencia (rho=-0,38); el aumento en contratos temporales, disminuía el apoyo de los compañeros (rho=-0,34) e influencia (rho=-0,53); y conforme aumentaba el número de horas extraordinarias, aumentaba la influencia (rho=0,49).Conclusiones: Este estudio confirma la existencia de desigualdades en la exposición a riesgos psicosociales en el trabajo en función de la ocupación y las características sociodemográficas y condiciones de empleo de la ocupación desempeñada.PALABRAS CLAVE: Estrés laboral, exposición laboral, factores socioeconómicos, empleo, clasificación, ocupaciones. SOCIODEMOGRAPHIC AND OCCUPATIONAL FACTORS RELATED TO EXPOSURE TO PSYCHOSOCIAL RISK FACTORS BY OCCUPATION IN SPAIN. THE MATEMESP PROJECT ABSTRACTObjective: The objective of the study is to describe the level of exposure to psychosocial risk factors by occupation in the Spanish working population and analyze their relationship with sociodemographic characteristics and employment conditions. Methods: The Spanish Job-Exposure Matrix (MatEmESp) is used to describe the levels of exposure to psychosocial risk factors in 2005. We identified occupations with higher levels of exposure and analysed their relationship with employment conditions and sociodemographic characteristics.Results: Levels of exposure to work influence were below the midpoint (50, on a scale from 0 to 100); for work pace, they were slightly above ( =46.8 and =50.8, respectively). The highest levels of exposure were found in manual occupations; some skilled occupations were also associated with high insecurity (economists) and work pace (managers). As social class and education decreased, insecurity increased (rho = 0.45 and 0.38 respectively), and both co-worker support ...

“…For decades, work organisation in Spain has been based on Taylorist principles [Gonzalez Menendez, ], which has meant that a high proportion of workers are exposed to situations of lack of autonomy combined with exposure to low Demands at work. However, the rise in Psychological Demands, intensification of work, and stagnation of Control among workers in Spain has been reported in previous articles [Utzet et al, , ]. Some studies have shown that Job Insecurity is high in Spain [Moncada et al, ; Nubling et al, ].…”

“…Some studies have shown that Job Insecurity is high in Spain [Moncada et al, ; Nubling et al, ]. In a context such as the present, with high unemployment and job destruction, among those workers who have not lost their jobs Insecurity over losing valued working conditions has apparently become subordinated to Insecurity about losing the job [Moncada et al, ; Utzet et al, ].…”

“…Governments adopted austerity measures, eroding welfare states, creating widespread indignation about the loss of rights acquired when they were constituted. This aggrieved large sectors of the population (Utzet et al, 2014). Facing this economic and political crisis, many people decided to take to the streets to express their dissatisfaction, and to demand changes.…”

The recent economic crisis shaped a new wave of protest in Europe mobilising thousands of people. Austerity measures brought not only the 'usual suspects' onto the streets, they also awoke less frequent demonstrators. What brought all these people to the streets? Are their motivations the same for participation in all demonstrations? We compare participants in two types of mobilisations against austerity: those called particularistic (which are reactions to particular anti-austerity issues), and those universalistic (which address much broader issues such as questioning the political system). We also compare two typologies of participants taking into account their participation history: regular and occasional protesters. Employing a two-by-two design defined by type of demonstration (Particularistic vs. Universalistic) and the individual's participation history (Occasionals vs. Regulars), we found that the differences between demonstrations were smaller than those within types of protesters. Nevertheless, even in this period of hardship, motivation to participate in particularistic or universalistic protests differ depending on the perceptions of political system, ideological positioning and organisational embeddedness. Interaction analyses showed that different levels of identity, trust in institutions and satisfaction with democracy are crucial in driving people to participate in different types of demonstrations as occasionals or regulars.
