    Abstract
    This document is part of the doctoral research: Sense and Meaning of Job in a Flexible Job Market Environment. Approach to the Medellin – Colombia case. Objective: To study the flexible job market in Colombia and its contribution to job quality deterioration. Methodology: Literature review. Procedure: review of peer articles and research done in Colombia, media releases and government available data and information. The results show that job market flexibility in Colombia has emerged as a demand from businesses to government in their pursuing for competitiveness and survival. However, it has brought in with it a significant loss of legal protection for workers, increasing the deterioration of job quality. The job market flexibility in Colombia is implemented through contracts with agency employers, workers’ cooperatives and defined body work contracts, on top of definite term employment. In conclusion, and generally speaking, the use of this type of employment contract is rising every year and increases the loss of job quality and lack of stability, with the consequent deterioration on quality of life and well-being of workers and their families. In this environment, getting a job becomes a matter of survival. It is worth to note that employers hire and fire personnel under basic economic criteria, encouraging a job market ruled by the excess of power of the strongest, the employer.
     
    El presente artículo hace parte del proceso de revisión documental de la investigación doctoral: Sentidos y significados del trabajo en el escenario laboral flexible. Una aproximación al contexto de Medellín– Colombia. Objetivo: indagar sobre la flexibilidad laboral en Colombia y su contribución a la precarización del empleo. Método: revisión de literatura. Procedimiento: se realizó una revisión de artículos relacionados, se consultaron investigaciones realizadas en Colombia, medios de comunicación masivos y fuentes gubernamentales de información. Se encontró en los resultados que la flexibilidad laboral en Colombia, se ha impuesto como una exigencia de las organizaciones a los Estados en su búsqueda de competitividad y sobrevivencia, pero que ha traído pérdidas significativas a la protección legal que tenían los trabajadores, incrementando cada vez más la precarización del empleo. En Colombia la flexibilidad laboral se presenta a través de los contratos comerciales con empresas temporales, cooperativas de trabajo asociado y contratos de prestación de servicios; además de la utilización de contratos laborales a término fijo. La conclusión, a modo general, es que el incremento de la utilización de estas modalidades de relación laboral se aumenta año a año y se incrementa la pérdida de calidad del trabajo y su estabilidad, con su respectiva disminución de calidad de vida y bienestar de los trabajadores y de sus familias, es así que, la consecución del empleo se constituye en una forma de responder a la necesidad de sobrevivencia. Es de resaltar que los empleadores contratan y desvinculan al personal bajo un criterio básicamente económico, incentivando en esta lógica de relación contractual el exceso de poder del más fuerte, es decir del empleador.
