Int J Environ Res Public Health. 2020 Apr 8;17(7):2547. doi: 10.3390/ijerph17072547.

Abstract

This study examines the relationship beween employment and psychosocial working conditions and well-being of native and migrant workers in the working population of Spain. Data from the 7th Spanish Survey of Working Conditions was used to conduct a confirmatory factor analysis (n = 8508) to identify the main latent variables that influenced well-being. Using structural equation modeling and multivariate analysis, we found different patterns and perceptions of well-being and working conditions in these two groups. We discuss the reasons for these differences and suggest directions for further research in this area.

Keywords: Spain; migrant workers; psychosocial working conditions; well-being.
