Job satisfaction of non-standard workers in Korea: focusing on non-standard workers’ internal and external heterogeneity

Abstract: This longitudinal study investigates how work-related well-being measured by job satisfaction differs by employment types in Korea. The relationship between job satisfaction and employment type reflecting internal (motivation of choice) and external (type of employment contracts) heterogeneity of non-standard workers is examined. The first 6th wave (2009–14) of the ‘09 sample’ from the Korean Labour and Income Panel Study (KLIPS) is used. The results show that average level of job satisfaction of non-standard … Show more

“…All items were measured on a five‐point Likert scale (1 = very dissatisfied, 5 = very satisfied). Two Korean studies using this scale reported high internal consistency values of 0.908 (Ok, 2022) and 0.920 (Park & Kang, 2017), but the studies did not report the validity. Thus, we conducted an exploratory factor analysis (Hinkin, 2005), and the results showed that the seven items were loaded onto a single job satisfaction factor.…”

“…Recent studies emphasise that unemployment and non-standard employment are related to a range of outcomes, including financial hardship, lower job satisfaction and poorer mental health (Lewchuk et al, 2008; McGann et al, 2016; Park and Kang, 2017; Warren, 2015). However, research on the effects of achieving housing autonomy among young people has been surprisingly limited, even though housing autonomy marks the point at which individuals take control of their own consumption and financial decisions (Arnett, 1997), and is often a pre-condition for family formation (Holdsworth and Elliott, 2001).…”
