“…In another study on 621 Spanish university academics, García, Iglesias, Saleta, and Romay (2016) identified a high prevalence of psychological demands, low esteem, high levels of double presence, low social support, and high job insecurity as overriding psychosocial risks. In the case of Argentinian scholars, though some studies focusing on the Argentinian context have been successful in describing the nature of work in higher educational settings (e.g., García de Fanelli & Moguillansky, 2014;Groisman & García de Fanelli, 2009), it was not possible to find literature that provides evidence of the effects of psychosocial risk factors on scholars' attitudes, behavior, well-being and, in particular, job satisfaction in this context. However, based on the abundant evidence provided on this matter in the international literature, as discussed above, we hypothesize that: H1: Perceptions of higher exposure to psychosocial risks (i.e., psychological demands, insufficient autonomy, lack of social support and leadership, double presence, insufficient esteem, and insecurity about the future) will be related to lower levels of job satisfaction.…”
