Resumen

Marco teórico: El envejecimiento ha sido una fuente creciente de mayores oportunidades genera-das por la longevidad, pero también una fuente creciente de preocupación, particularmente con respecto a la salud mental y el bienestar de las personas mayores. Como tal, es muy importante tener una mejor comprensión de la relación entre los factores psicosociales relacionados con el lugar de trabajo y la calidad de vida, no solo entre la población activa, sino también entre los jubilados. El objetivo principal de este estudio es comprender y caracterizar mejor la relación entre la calidad de vida, las condiciones psicosociales relacionadas con el trabajo y el apoyo social para adultos tanto trabajadores como jubila-dos. Método: Los participantes fueron 1.330, el 62,2% mujeres, con edades comprendidas entre los 55 y los 75 años. El 47% de los encuestados estaba trabajando y el 46% estaba jubilado. Se probaron tres modelos de ecuaciones estructurales, utilizando la muestra total y por situación laboral (trabajador y jubilado). Resultados: Los resultados mostraron que el manejo del estrés (con mayor efecto en los jubilados) y el apoyo social (con mayor efecto en los trabajadores) influyen positivamente en el factor CV. Mejores condiciones psicosociales relacionadas con el trabajo y un mayor apoyo social fueron predictores de un mejor calidad de vida. Conclusiones: Nuestro estudio nos permitió concluir que la CV está influenciada por la situación laboral, el apoyo social y las condiciones psicosociales relacionadas con el trabajo. Este es un mensaje poderoso para los formuladores de políticas en vista del crecimiento de las poblaciones mayores.
