Resumen

Resumen: La expatriación por trabajo presenta varios desafíos antes de la salida, durante la expatriación y en el regreso al país de origen que pueden impactar en el bienestar subjetivo (BES) de estos profesionales. Este estudio tuvo como objetivo evaluar variables sociodemográficas y laborales, distancia cultural y efectividad intercultural como predictores de BES en 238 expatriados en misión en Brasil. Los instrumentos utilizados fueron un cuestionario sociodemográfico y laboral, la Escala de Satisfacción con la Vida, los puntajes de Distancia Cultural, la Escala de Afectos Positivos y Negativos y el Cuestionario de Personalidad Multicultural. Los resultados se evaluaron desde un Análisis de Regresión Lineal y revelaron un modelo predictivo del bienestar subjetivo constituido por las variables tener hijos, empatía cultural, iniciativa social y estabilidad emocional. Los resultados indican la necesidad de intervenciones enfocadas en el bienestar subjetivo dirigidas a la adaptación de los expatriados en Brasil.
