?:abstract
  • In this article we answered the research question to what extentvariation in extrinsic and intrinsic job preference orientations can beattributed to and explained by differences between individuals and betweencountries. We argued that socialization in school, economic deprivation, andjob quality influence job preferences, and formulated testable hypotheses onthe individual and country level. After first testing for cross-nationalequivalence of the latent constructs and assuring that factor solutions weresatisfactory, we employed multiple response multilevel models on a subset of22 countries in the European Values Study 1999/2000. The findings indicatethat higher educational attainment, a high income, working in managerialand higher professional jobs, and having autonomy in one's job stimulateintrinsic job preference orientations, while particularly educationalattainment and autonomy temper extrinsic work values. Workers in semi- andunskilled manual jobs have the highest extrinsic job preferences. On top ofindividual characteristics, living in a nation that invests much in humancapital or has a high quality labour market is associated with lower levels ofextrinsic job preferences. Moreover, countries with socio-economic featuresthat reduce the risk of economic deprivation have a more intrinsicallymotivated workforce. (xsd:string)
