Studies on quality of work have minimized the importance of the non-pecuniary components of labor activity and have focused their attention on the analysis of social stratification, showing a vertical hierarchy of labor quality by social classes, obviating the importance of horizontal relationships underlying the logic of industrial and post-industrial employment. The goal of this article is twofold: to present a composite index that measures the intrinsic quality of work and link it with labor logic. First, it is explained what labor logics consist of, and we justify the need for an Intrinsic Quality of Work Index. Second, we present the methodology, the empirical construction of the index and the validation through latent class analysis of the labor logic model that we are going to use. Finally, we present the link between the resulting employment logic and the intrinsic quality of work.
