THE DEMAND-CONTROL MODEL AT WORK AND SATISFACTION WITH THE COUPLE RELATIONSHIP Ortiz-López, Marina Calvo Salguero, Antonia Job-demands Job-control Satisfaction with the Couple Relationship Prevention of Psychosocial Risks at Work Occupational Health The overall aim of this study was to analyze if the characteristics of the job emerged as direct predictors of the satisfaction with the couple relationship and, if applicable, identify those characteristics predicting low satisfaction, with a view to contribute to the prevention of psychosocial risks that affect social health in organizations. For the achievement of this aim, Karasek’s (1979) two-dimensional model was taken as a theoretical frame of reference. It focuses on job demands and the control that organizations offer their employees in order to address these demands. The sample of participants was formed by 124 employees. The results showed that the quadruple typology proposed by the two-dimensional model, as well as control had significant effects on satisfaction. Participants with low control presented lower levels of satisfaction than participants with high control. The results concluded that the characteristics of the job, as well the autonomy, the possibility of developing abilities and creativity, influence satisfaction with the couple relationship. 2019-01-08T11:25:19Z 2019-01-08T11:25:19Z 2018 info:eu-repo/semantics/article Ortiz-López, M. & Calvo-Salguero, A.
