ARCE ESPINOZA, Lourdes. Satisfacción personal, laboral y geográfica en funcionarios de una universidad estatal de Costa Rica: efecto del sexo, el estado civil, la edad y la educación. Cuadernos de Investigación UNED [online]. 2015, vol.7, n.2, pp.151-155. ISSN 1659-4266.

Personnal, occupational and geographical satisfaction in the staff of a state university in Costa Rica: effect of sex, marital status, age and education. Satisfaction is determined by a set of external and internal factors of the individual, experiences, culture and the environment; it changes with goals and achievements. Here I analyze the results of an online survey of 1000 institutional email users from a public university in Costa Rica. Men are more satisfied with life in general and single, widowed or divorced people are less satisfied than those living with a partner. The greatest satisfaction is associated with tenure, being over 31 years old and having a high academic degree. Overall satisfaction is medium-high which is consistent with other local studies.

Keywords : quality of life; happiness; well-being; subjective-cognitive perception; goals; achievements.
