JOB SATISFACTION AND PRECARIOUSNESS IN INDEPENDENT ARTISTS OF MEXICO CITY

María del Carmen López- García

Abstract


The objective of this study was to analyze the construction of the concept of job satisfaction through the perception of their working conditions in independent artists.  We will consider all those occupations characterized by instability, insecurity in remuneration, and lack of social security within the concept of job precariousness. As a method it was applied Grounded Theory. The sample was integrated with independent artists from Mexico City. In-depth interviews were applied and the data obtained were analyzed with ATLAS-ti software. The results reveal that the participating artists, although they perceive their precarious working conditions, like their work and assume their shortcomings as something necessary to what they must face in order to work in Mexico, within that field.
