Abstract: Perceived wellbeing at the workplace could be related to various factors such as the training received, the general working environment and particularly, the level of gender equality. Moreover is expected that the higher wellbeing at work will be reflected in a higher general welfare. This paper discusses the sense of wellbeing at the workplace, and general welfare, regarding the training and perceived gender equality for those employed in the Spanish System of Ports. To carry out the work, we have relied on the European Survey on Working Conditions, through the adaptation of that questionnaire. Through a structural equation model (SEM) analysis, and a mean comparison analysis, it was found that the women’s perceptions on all studied variables are lower than the men’s ones. We found a causal relationship between perceived gender equality, training courses and wellbeing at work, as well as between this last variable and general welfare.
