“…The majority of definitions of job satisfaction center on how employees feel and think about their jobs (Weiss, 2002). Job satisfaction and its domains are chosen because it is easy to use and captures many aspects of a person's work situation (Ribar and Wooden, 2020). Moreover, it has been previously used in research using the HILDA data set (e.g.…”

PurposeThis study examines the relationship between partners' locus of control and their spouses' domains of job satisfaction (job satisfaction and its domains, personal income and promotion) among Australian couples.Design/methodology/approachData were obtained from the Household, Income and Labor Dynamics of Australia (HILDA) Survey. Various estimation strategies including ordinary least squares (OLS), Mundlak approach and instrumental variable (IV) method are used to reveal the relationship between spouse's locus of control and domains of job satisfaction.FindingsTo reduce sex heterogeneity, the analysis used in this study is disaggregated by sex. In particular, the findings of this study show that wives' locus of control positively influences husbands' satisfaction with pay and working hours, while there is no relationship between husbands' locus of control and wives' domains of job satisfaction.Social implicationsThe study's findings emphasize the importance of locus of control in couples. A good work–life balance and a healthy marital relationship potentially facilitate positive effects of characteristics from the partner on employees' job satisfaction. Thus, on the organizational level, employers may consider creating a working environment that promotes a healthy marital relationship for their staff, including flexible working schedules, work from home options, family days or family-extended staff events.Originality/valueThis study is the first to reveal the relationship between spousal locus of control and domains of job satisfaction, enriching the current literature on this topic.

“…Con base en lo dicho, las condiciones laborales contemplan no solo el salario, sino que se sitúan en la intersección de varias disciplinas y enfoques de investigación, como la economía neoclásica, la sociología, la psicología y las relaciones laborales (Ribar y Wooden, 2019). También, tienen en cuenta el aspecto biológico, nivel educativo, clima organizacional, relaciones familiares y aspectos culturales (Jiménez y Moyano, 2008).…”

El objetivo de esta investigación es analizar las condiciones laborales objetivas y subjetivas de los empleados de los alojamientos urbanos. El enfoque es cuantitativo, diseño no experimental, descriptivo y correlacional. La información se obtuvo de 142 empleados de hoteles inscritos en el Registro Nacional de Turismo en Villavicencio, mediante el modelo CV GOHISALO. El análisis contempla la multidimensionalidad laboral objetiva y subjetiva, se aplica el índice sintético y procesos correlacionales. Los resultados muestran un índice de la calidad del empleo objetivo promedio de 57,49 puntos, sin alcanzar un nivel aceptable. El salario es la variable que presenta la mayor insatisfacción, luego está la administración del tiempo libre y desarrollo personal. Se concluye que las empresas hoteleras de Villavicencio posiblemente se han concentrado en estrategias para la productividad, competitividad y su crecimiento económico, pero han generado detrimento en la CVL y desmotivación en el trabajador al descuidar su integridad psicológica, humana, familiar y social.

“…An alternative approach to the measurement of job quality is to create summative measures that combine responses to questions about the quality of different job aspects (e.g., Leach et al 2010;Cassells et al 2018;Ribar and Wooden 2020). Use of these sorts of measures suggests less stability over the period covered by the HILDA Survey.…”

“…Use of these sorts of measures suggests less stability over the period covered by the HILDA Survey. Ribar and Wooden (2020), for example, distinguish between four major components of job quality-autonomy, demands and engagement, compensation adequacy and job security-and identify clear trends with respect to two: compensation adequacy has been rising for women whereas for men it rose modestly until 2010 before declining, while job security mostly rose until 2007 and has been mostly falling since.…”
