Comparing Job Satisfaction Among Public- and Private-Sector Employees American Review of Public Administration 26,3 (September 1996): 327-343.

Over the past several decades a number of empirical studies have demonstrated that job-satisfaction levels vary widely in the American labor force. Renewed interest in increasing performance levels in government should interest public administrators in identifying factors that foster worker satisfaction. A paper uses analyses of the National Longitudinal Surveys of Youth (NLSY) to compare job-satisfaction levels among public- and private-sector employees. Using this survey allows the paper to examine the actual work experiences, personal characteristics, and job-satisfaction levels of a selected set of public and private workers. If the factors that contribute to job satisfaction differ for public- and private-sector employees, as the results suggest they do, then such an analysis is long overdue.
