    El presente estudio propone una nueva perspectiva del concepto de satisfacción laboral en el contexto regional y nacional, especialmente en el sector público, donde su investigación ha sido limitada.

    El estudio incluye una discusión teórica sobre la evolución y los alcances del concepto, proponiendo elementos epistémicos para su aplicación en el ámbito laboral. Se concluye que las entidades estatales están comenzando a incorporar la satisfacción laboral en sus políticas de desarrollo y bienestar, reconociendo nuevas prácticas que favorecen la adaptabilidad de los trabajadores en el entorno organizacional del Estado colombiano.

    This study offers a new perspective on the concept of job satisfaction in both regional and national contexts, particularly within the public sector, where research on the topic remains limited. The study was conducted at Universidad de los Llanos, as part of the Master’s in Business Administration program, with participation from the authors—one of whom serves as head of the University Well-being Division.

    The research includes a theoretical discussion on the evolution and scope of the concept, proposing epistemic elements for its application in the workplace. The study concludes that public institutions are beginning to incorporate job satisfaction into their development and well-being policies, recognizing new practices that enhance employee adaptability within the organizational environment of the Colombian state.
