The objective of this study was to characterize the relationship between employment contracts and job stability in the La Salle Catholic Schools in the Southern Zone of Ecuador, considering both objective and subjective dimensions of job stability. This research was conducted using a quantitative, non-experimental, cross-sectional design. The population consisted of 138 employees, including teachers, administrative staff, and support personnel, of whom only 105 voluntarily agreed to participate. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire and a Likert-type scale focused on measuring explicit and implicit job insecurity, as well as the perceived impact on well-being and performance. Data processing and analysis were performed using SPSS statistical software. Descriptive and inferential statistical analyses were conducted using non-parametric tests to study differences based on the type of contract. The relationship between objective and subjective job stability was also examined. Based on the evidence, it was possible to determine significant differences in levels of subjective job insecurity according to the type of employment contract. It was also determined that the perceived probability of remaining with the institution is negatively and significantly associated with job insecurity and its impact on well-being. Therefore, it is concluded that job stability in semi-private (fiscomisional) contexts is centered on expectations related to future continuity and not so much on formal contractual conditions
