Resumen:
In line with the Job Demands-Resources Model (JD-R) this study analyzes the role of task-oriented
norm (job resource) and role stressors (job demands) to predict job satisfaction over time. In order
to test this effect, a sample was gathered in a manufacturing setting at two different times. Hierarchical
regression analysis tests the principal and the interaction effects of role stressors (role conflict and role
overload) and task-oriented norm to predict job satisfaction. Results confirm the negative effect of role
conflict at Time 1 on job satisfaction at Time 2 showing the relevance of setting priorities to neutralize the
negative effect of this stressor. Moreover, these results show the interaction between task overload (Time
1) and task-oriented norm (Time 1) on job satisfaction (Time 2) after working together for more than one
year as a permanent group. Discussion is focused on the structural work context and within group implications
of these findings in real working settings.
