Abstract

Many studies suggest that employees of social enterprises experience greater job satisfaction than employees of for‐profit organizations, although their pay and employment contracts are usually less favorable. Based on linked employer–employee data from a French survey on employment characteristics and industrial relations and using a decomposition method developed by Gelbach (2016), this paper aims to explain this somewhat paradoxical result. Focusing on work organization variables, we show that the specific work organization of social enterprises explains a large part of the observed job satisfaction differential both in general and more specifically, in terms of satisfaction with access to training and working conditions. By detailing the components of work organization, the higher job satisfaction reported by employees in social enterprises stems from their greater autonomy and better access to information. In contrast to earlier studies, however, our results show that these work organization variables do not have more value for social enterprise employees than for for‐profit organization employees in the case of overall job satisfaction. This result casts doubt on the widespread hypothesis that social enterprise employees attach more weight to the nonmonetary advantages of their work than their counterparts in for‐profit organizations.
社会企业的工作组织:工作满意度的来源?
许多研究表明,与营利性组织的员工相比,社会企业员工的工作满意度更高,尽管他们的薪酬和雇佣合同通常较差。本文基于法国一项关于就业特征和劳资关系调查的雇主-雇员关联数据,并使用 Gelbach(2016 年)开发的分解方法,旨在解释这一有些自相矛盾的结果。我们以工作组织变量为重点,说明社会企业的特定工作组织在很大程度上解释了所观察到的工作满意度差异,无论是总体差异还是更具体的培训机会和工作条件满意度差异。通过详细分析工作组织的各个组成部分,我们发现,社会企业员工的工作满意度之所以较高,是因为他们有更大的自主权和更好的信息获取渠道。然而,与之前的研究不同的是,我们的研究结果表明,就整体工作满意度而言,这些工作组织变量对社会企业员工的价值并不比对营利组织员工的价值高。这一结果使人们对社会企业员工比营利组织员工更重视工作中的非货币优势这一普遍假设产生了怀疑。

期刊介绍: Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
