As a purpose this research seeks to explore from the perspective of positive organizational psychology the relationship between three variables Work Motivation, Labor Satisfaction and the state of Flow, in workers of Family Health Centers. The state of Flow is a current state where people have been involved in their activity and nothing else seems to matter, the activity itself is so pleasant that people do it even if they have a great cost, for the pure reason and pleasure of doing it. Of this study, 214 primary health officials from the city of Iquique, Chile, participated, who answered different instruments related to the variables under study. This research is based on an ex post facto correlational design through the use of bivariate correlation techniques. The results show the positive presence of Flow’s status within the organization, and it has been possible to establish the existence of a direct and significant relationship between the variables studied.
