The Managerial Role and Psychosocial Factors of Job Satisfaction A Cross-sectional Study Among Wittyfit's Users

Objective: Job satisfaction is an emerging indicator for measuring workers' occupational well-being; however, this has been poorly studied in managers. We aimed to explore job satisfaction between managers and employees and assess its factors. Methods: Data from Wittyfit's users were collected between January 2018 and February 2020. Volunteers anonymously provided their sociodemographic profile, their sense of job satisfaction, and their psychosocial feelings (ambiance, meaning, organization, recognition, values, work-life balance). Results: Data of 10,484 employees and 836 managers were collected. Job satisfaction was higher in managers than employees. All psychosocial factors had an impact on job satisfaction in workers. Therewas a higher prevalence of satisfied managers than employees. Managerial position and other sociodemographic variables influenced this prevalence. Conclusions: Managers seem to be more satisfied than employees. Psychosocial and sociodemographic factors can influence workers' job satisfaction.
