Resumen

The objective of this research is to ex-plore the empirical link between the di-mensions of emotional salary and job satisfaction in the time of COVID-19, sta-tistical studies of which are quite scarce in the environment of emerging markets. To address this gap in the literature, a survey of 190 executives of companies in Costa Rica was done during the first half of 2021. This analysis uses a mul-tiple hierarchical model and structural equations to empirically demonstrate that the creation of value dimension, the strategic dimension, the motivational di-mension and the human dimension of the emotional salary construct of Quin-tero and Betancur affect the job satisfac-tion dimension of Costa Rica’s human capital. The results show that there is a significant relationship between each of the aforementioned dimensions of emo-tional salary and the dimension of job satisfaction.
