Resumen
El artículo tiene por objetivo analizar si la satisfacción laboral ejerce un efecto mediador en
la relación entre la percepción de alternativas de empleo y el compromiso organizacional en la
industria maquiladora. Para verificar el modelo estadístico se realizó una prueba empírica con 145 operadores de línea en una maquiladora de insumos electrónicos en Victoria, en el estado de Tamaulipas (México). La base datos fue analizada por medio del programa estadístico SPSS. Entre los resultados, se establece que, aunque la percepción de alternativas de empleo afecta de manera negativa el compromiso organizacional, este efecto es mediado totalmente por la satisfacción laboral. El valor de este trabajo radica en que es la primera investigación de este tipo en el mercado laboral de la industria maquiladora. En conclusión, se determina que el efecto de la percepción de alternativas de empleo no es directo, sino indirecto; esto debe alentar a las gerencias de recursos humanos para esforzarse en reducir los comportamientos opuestos al compromiso organizacional. En otras palabras, aunque la percepción de ofertas externas de otros posibles empleadores influye en la decisión de rechazar el compromiso organizacional, es la satisfacción laboral la que finalmente determina la decisión de establecer o no establecer un compromiso organizacional con el actual trabajo.
