Abstract

We investigate the relationship between individual and job-related characteristics and motivation assessments of temporary agency workers. To do so, we make use of a unique dataset from one of Germany’s largest temporary work agencies. For 3,000 temporary agency workers, a subjective motivation appraisal is provided by the respective direct manager within the hiring company. We observe a positive relationship between the decision on transition to regular employment and the motivation assessment of temporary agency workers. Women in temporary agency work receive higher appraisals than men. However, the relation between project duration and motivation assessment is more pronounced for males. A change of the hiring company with follow-up projects is negatively related to motivation assessments of temporary agency workers. Hypothesis 4: There is a positive relationship between remaining with a hiring company on a follow-up project and the motivation assessment of the temporary agency worker.

临时工的动机评估——基于用人单位评价的实证分析

本研究旨在探讨临时工个人特质与工作特质与动机评估的关系。为此，我们利用了德国最大的临时工作机构之一的独特数据集。对3000名临时劳务人员，由招聘公司的直接负责人对其进行主观动机评价。我们观察到临时工转正决策与临时工动机评估之间存在正相关关系。从事临时中介工作的女性比男性得到更高的评价。然而，项目持续时间与动机评估之间的关系在男性中更为明显。聘用公司与后续项目的变化与临时工的动机评价呈负相关。假设4:在后续项目中留在招聘公司与临时工的动机评估之间存在正相关关系。
