Job satisfaction and quits – Which job characteristics matters most?

Nicolai Kristensen and Niels Westergård-Nielsen ()

Nationaløkonomisk tidsskrift, 2006, vol. 2006, issue 1, 230-248

Abstract: Various job satisfaction domains are ranked according to their explanatory power in regressions explaining quits. Satisfaction with Type of Work is found to be the most important job characteristic in Denmark while satisfaction with Job Security is found to be insignificant. These results are opposed to results for UK, where Job Security is found to be the most important job domain. This discrepancy between UK and Denmark might be due to differences in unemployment insurance benefits and indicates that there are »invisible« benefits inherited in the welfare state insurance system because employees in Denmark don’t worry about job security.
