The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between social connectedness outside of work and job satisfaction in Mexican teleworkers during the COVID-19 pandemic. The research method was correlational, non-experimental, and cross-sectional. Employing an online, self-administered survey, the data were collected in a non-probabilistic sample of 214 individuals. The results suggest that the relationship between social connectedness outside of work and job satisfaction is positive and mediated by positive affective well-being. The mediating effect of positive affective well-being is not moderated by optimistic attributional style. Social connectedness outside of work is important to keep job satisfaction high. Therefore, organizations should facilitate a frequent interaction of their teleworkers with others outside the work domain.Alternate abstract:El proposito de este estudio fue examinar la relacion entre la conectividad social fuera del trabajo y la satisfaccion laboral en teletrabajadores mexicanos durante la pandemia por COVID-19. El metodo de investigacion fue correlacional, no experimental y transversal. Los datos se recolectaron en una muestra no probabilistica de 214 individuos mediante una encuesta autoadministrada en linea. Los resultados sugieren que la relacion entre la conectividad social fuera del trabajo y la satisfaccion laboral es positiva y esta mediada por el bienestar afectivo positivo. El efecto mediator del bienestar afectivo positivo no esta moderado por el estilo atribucional optimista. Dada la importancia de la satisfaccion laboral, las organizaciones deberian facilitar la interaccion frecuente de sus empleados con personas fuera del trabajo.Alternate abstract:O objetivo deste estudo foi examinar a relacao entre conectividade social fora do trabalho e a satisfacao no trabalho em teletrabalhadores mexicanos durante a pandemia COVID-19.
