La presente investigación tuvo como objetivo principal determinar la relación entre deseabilidad social (DS) y la satisfacción con la vida (SV) en trabajadores de una empresa del rubro textil en Lima Metropolitana. Asimismo, se plantearon objetivos comparativos orientados a analizar las diferencias en los niveles de DS y SV según la remuneración económica (R) y el sexo (S). Para ello, se empleó una estrategia asociativa con diseño correlacional simple y comparativo. La muestra estuvo conformada por 202 trabajadores administrativos del sector textil, de ambos sexos (54.5% mujeres y 45.5% hombres), con edades comprendidas entre 25 y 40 años (M = 36; DE = 6.28), a quienes se les aplicó la Versión breve de la escala de deseabilidad social de Marlowe - Crowne y la escala de Satisfacción con la vida. Los resultados refieren que se encontró una relación positiva y pequeña entre DS y SV (rₛ= .13, p = .048); asimismo, se determinó que no existen diferencias en las dos variables según el género y que la SV varía en función de la remuneración. Se concluye que los trabajadores con mayores niveles de DS reportan una mayor SV, sugiriendo que presentar una imagen favorable a los demás puede estar vinculada con una percepción más positiva de la propia vida. The main objective of this research was to determine the relationship between social desirability (SD) and life satisfaction (LS) in employees of a textile company in Metropolitan Lima. Comparative objectives were also set to analyze the differences in SD and LS levels according to economic remuneration (R) and sex (S). For this purpose, an associative strategy with a simple correlational and comparative design was employed. The sample consisted of 202 administrative workers in the textile sector, of both sexes (54.5% women and 45.5% men), aged between 25 and 40 years (M = 36; SD = 6.28), who were administered the Short Version of the Marlowe-Crowne Social Desirability Scale and the Satisfaction with Life Scale. The results indicate a small, positive relationship between SD and LS (rₛ = .13, p = .048). Furthermore, it was determined that there are no differences in the two variables according to gender and that life satisfaction varies depending on remuneration. It is concluded that workers with higher levels of social desirability (SD) report greater life satisfaction, suggesting that presenting a favorable image to others may be linked to a more positive perception of one's own life.
