WHAT MAKES WORKERS WITH DISABILITIES HAPPY? THE IMPORTANCE OF NON‐PECUNIARY CHARACTERISTICS

Health Economics, 2014, vol. 23, issue 2, 241-247

Abstract: The paper examines the determinants of the levels of job satisfaction reported by non‐disabled and disabled workers, with special attention to the contribution of non‐pecuniary job aspects. Using longitudinal data from the German Socio‐Economic Panel, we estimate job satisfaction equations for non‐disabled and disabled workers. The existence of unhealthy environments, hard manual work, capacity to learn and good relationships with colleagues and supervisors all have a greater influence on job satisfaction for disabled workers than for their non‐disabled counterparts.
