• Occupational hazards
• Job satisfaction
• Qualitative research

The analysis of job satisfaction is a poorly studied variable in the construction industry. This paper aims to fill this gap, and to understand the different variables considered as risk originators of psychosocial origin that influence on job satisfaction of the Architects in the construction sector of the Basque Country (Spain).
The methodology has been to develop a nonrandom sample of Basque Architects who were interviewed using a semistructured questionnaire.
Results are that workers that develop a job that matches with their level of education and work experience have a greater job satisfaction. Moreover, the level of satisfaction seems to be directly related to the level of influence over working hours, role clarity, social support at work and a better quality of leadership.
It can be concluded, in order to achieve job satisfaction of workers, companies in the construction sector should adapt, from the standpoint of gender, work environments and provide ongoing training to promote the development of people at work.
