Satisfacción laboral de trabajadores de actividades deportivas y recreativas en turismo activo

Abstract

Job satisfaction is an emotional state on the subjective perception of workers' work experiences, which directly affects the quality of the service provided. Therefore, the objective of this study is to analyze the labor satisfaction of active tourism workers and their working conditions, and the effect of these on their job satisfaction in the Autonomous Community of Andalusia. To determine the levels of job satisfaction, the "Overall Job Satisfaction" tool, which was easy to use and recommended by the Spanish Ministry of Labor and Social Affairs, was used. The sample consisted of 218 professionals from the Andalusian active tourism sector, with a mean age of 34 years (73.8% men and 26.2% women). From the results of the present study, we can conclude that the active tourism workers in Andalusia, in general, are satisfied, practice their profession on their own and are mostly men. In the same way, we can also say that the satisfaction of these workers is not related to the following working conditions: activity performed in the organization, type of contract, performance of other functions of the activity, hours of weekly dedication or the salary received.
