Abstract:
|
The paper assesses the relationship between the use of alternative
workplace practices (AWP) and job satisfaction. Using a unique employeremployee
data set with rich information on both firm and employee
characteristics we test whether there is a positive impact of AWPs on job
satisfaction (motivation hypothesis) or it is negative (intensification
hypothesis). We expand a growing empirical literature focusing on small and
medium size firms from a southern European area. Our results show an overall
positive effect, depending on the specific practice considered. We also obtain
some sort of time-dependence with the effects turning from negative to positive
once the practice has been implemented for some time.
Keywords: Job satisfaction, work organization, unobserved heterogeneity. |
