A. Fortea Bagán1 aF. Fuertes Martínez00aContract and employee involvement modulator effect on tension–satisfaction–propensity to leave sequence  a103-1140 v33 aIn this paper we examine the possible modulator effect of the type of contract (temporary or fixed), and the employee Involvement (as Experienced Meaningfulness of the Work, in terms of Hackman & Oldham, 1980), on the sequence "Tension- Satisfaction-Propensity to Leave". Using hierarchical regression analysis to predict each variable of the sequence through their antecedents, we find that in fixed personnel -as well as in low involvement personnel-, the forecast is only slightly significant. However, for the temporary personnel, and those with high involvement, thefore cast is very significant. Furthermore, our results suggest a new link inthe "Tension-Satisfaction-Propensity to Leave" sequence: Tension also has a direct influence on the Propensity to leave, both under modulation of the type of contract and under modulation of employee involvement.  a1134-7937  a2174-0437
