Abstract

The consequences of temporary jobs for job satisfaction are not clear. This article examines the effect of two crucial moderators in the association between temporary contracts and job satisfaction: the reason for being a temporary worker and the duration of temporary contracts. Using the ad-hoc module of the 2017 EU Labour Force Survey (EU-LFS), this study examines 27 European countries separately. Results show that involuntary temporary workers (those who wanted a permanent contract but could not find one) tend to be less satisfied than permanent employees. However, voluntary temporary workers (those who prefer temporary over permanent jobs) and temporary workers in apprenticeships or probation periods are generally as satisfied as permanent employees. Shorter contracts frequently exert negative effects on job satisfaction, but only among involuntary temporary workers. Results differ between countries: the differences between temporary and permanent workers are insignificant in Scandinavian countries but large in the post-Socialist states.

整个欧洲的工作满意度:对27个国家异质临时工的分析。

临时工作对工作满意度的影响尚不清楚。本文考察了临时合同与工作满意度之间关系的两个关键调节因素的影响:成为临时工的原因和临时合同的持续时间。本研究使用2017年欧盟劳动力调查(EU- lfs)的特设模块，分别对27个欧洲国家进行了调查。结果显示，非自愿临时工(那些想要一份永久合同但找不到的人)往往比正式雇员更不满意。然而，自愿临时工(那些更喜欢临时工作而不是长期工作的人)和学徒或试用期的临时工通常与正式雇员一样满意。较短的合同经常对工作满意度产生负面影响，但仅限于非自愿的临时工。不同国家的结果不同:在斯堪的纳维亚国家，临时工和临时工之间的差异微不足道，但在后社会主义国家，这种差异很大。

期刊介绍： Economic and Industrial Democracy is an international peer reviewed journal that focuses on the study of initiatives designed to enhance the quality of working life through extending the democratic control of workers over the workplace and the economy. How those initiatives are affected by wider political, economic and technological factors are also of interest. Special emphasis is laid on international coverage of empirical material, including discussions of the social and economic conditions in various countries.
