A Multivariate Analysis of the Correlates of Job Satisfaction among Men Aged 45-59 Report, Columbus OH: Center for Human Resource Research, The Ohio State University, 1972 Cohort(s): Older Men Publisher: Center for Human Resource Research Keyword(s): Health/Health Status/SF-12 Scale; Job Satisfaction; Occupations; Socioeconomic Status (SES); Wages; Work Attitudes The initial results of an attempt to identify and measure the strength of some of the personal, social- psychological, and economic factors associated with high levels of job satisfaction among men aged 45-59 show that an individual's hourly rate of pay, his occupation, his health, and the factors he considers most important about a job strongly influence his level of job satisfaction, even after adjustments are made for the effects of other variables. |

Correlates of Job Attitudes Among Young Women Nebraska Journal of Economics and Business 12,4 (Autumn 1973): 77-89. Also: http://www.jstor.org/pss/40472468 Cohort(s): Young Women Publisher: University of Nebraska Press Keyword(s): Discrimination, Racial/Ethnic; Job Satisfaction; Racial Differences; Self-Reporting; Work Attitudes This report focuses on the quality of employment of young women by examining their self-reported job satisfaction. Nearly two-thirds of the whites and more than half of the blacks declared that they liked their jobs "very much," and indeed no more than four percent of either group said that they disliked their jobs "very much." That whites are more likely than blacks to have reported high satisfaction was anticipated in light of the intercolor variations in demographic characteristics, occupational assignment, and hourly rates of pay; and the explanatory model behaves largely as had been expected. Young women whose labor market achievements (occupation for both whites and blacks, and pay for blacks) compare most favorably to the achievements of others with equivalent amounts of education evidenced high job satisfaction more frequently than did those whose experiences compared less favorably to their educational reference groups. Some of the problems of one form of under-utilization are suggested by the fact that those with the highest education relative to others doing the same kind of work are least likely to report high satisfaction. Likewise, the smaller proportion of the relatively low paid blacks who report high satisfaction depicts a potential outcome of racial discrimination in the labor market. |
