Determinants of job satisfaction: a European comparison of self-employed and paid employees
利用1994-2001年欧盟15国面板数据，比较自雇者与受雇员工在工作类型和工作保障两方面的满意度差异，发现自雇者对工作类型更满意但对工作保障更不满意。
The job satisfaction of self-employed and paid-employed workers is analyzed using the European Community Household Panel for the EU-15 covering the years 1994–2001. We distinguish between two types of job satisfaction: job satisfaction in terms of type of work and job satisfaction in terms of job security. Findings from our generalized ordered logit regressions indicate that self-employed individuals as compared to paid employees are more likely to be satisfied with their present jobs in terms of type of work and less likely to be satisfied in terms of job security. The findings also provide many insights into the determinants of the two types of job satisfaction for both self-employed and paid-employed workers.
