Abstract: The paper analyzes the development of work motivation of 2,870 atypically employed women and men within temporary employment in Germany along educational levels. While men without apprenticeship show significantly higher motivation than their male colleagues with vocational training, this effect does not apply to women. These are significantly more motivated only in case of a university degree than their female colleagues with vocational training. Similar effects can be observed among their male colleagues, but with decreasing tendencies as age increases. Overall, it can be stated that along educational levels both genders contribute to the increase of the work motivation paradox, which implies that women show significantly higher values of work motivation, although they work under poorer conditions. As an explanatory approach, it is assumed that men are more strongly oriented toward options on the labor market outside their own employment situation than women.
