Gender and job satisfaction in German horticulture

International Food and Agribusiness Management Review, 2018, vol. 21, issue 7

Abstract: There is little known about the links between gender and job satisfaction in the agricultural sector. Considering the ongoing shortage of agricultural staff in Germany, gaining insight into this issue is valuable, in particular, if one is interested in retaining workers in the business and in identifying gender-specific strategies to recruit new staff. For this reason, a survey among employees (N=218) of German horticultural companies was carried out. The results indicate that, while there are no significant differences for job satisfaction between the two genders in general, the determinants of job satisfaction differ substantially in their importance between the genders.
