No 3ag6p, OSF Preprints from Center for Open Science

Abstract: Decent work is a popular topic of vocational psychology from the Psychology of Working Theory (PWT), yet no research on decent work has been conducted in the Chinese context from a person-centered perspective. The present study applies latent profile analysis and uses the 5 subfactors of the Decent Work Scale (DWS) as indicators. The following four profiles are identified based on a sample of 487 Chinese workers: 1) indecent work; 2) moderate indecent work; 3) moderate decent work; 4) decent work. According to the results, both differences and similarities can be recognized between the emerging decent work profiles in China and the United States. In addition, this research investigates the relations between the decent work profiles and work outcomes from PWT (i.e., work well-being, life well-being, work meaning, affective commitment, engagement, and turnover intention) and reveals that all work outcomes differ significantly across the four profiles. Implications and future directions of the results are discussed.
