Palabras clave:
Bienestar Subjetivo, Empleo, Desempleo, Resistencia Psicológica, Apoyo SocialResumen
Esta investigación buscó identificar la relación de tener o no empleo con el bienestar subjetivo, considerando como variables mediadoras a la resistencia psicológica y al apoyo social, a través de la comparación entre empleados y desempleados, usando un diseño de grupos pareados. No hubo diferencias estadísticamente significativas en apoyo social y bienestar subjetivo entre empleados y desempleados, pero sí en la resistencia, siendo ésta mayor en los empleados; en ambos grupos la resistencia y el apoyo social se relacionaron causalmente con el bienestar subjetivo.
