We analyze the potential role of adverse working conditions at the workplace in the determination of employees' quit behavior. Our data contain both detailed information on perceived job disamenities, job satisfaction, and quit intentions from a cross-section survey and information on employees' actual job switches from longitudinal register data that can be linked to the survey. Reduced-form models show that employees facing adverse working conditions tend to have greater intentions to switch jobs and search for new matches more frequently. Multivariate probit models point out that job dissatisfaction that arises in adverse working conditions is related to job search and this in turn is related to actual job switches.JEL Classification: J28, J31, J64.

“…Based on data retrieved from cross-national surveys Souza-Poza and Henneberger [4] found that job satisfaction has one of the strongest influence on intentions to quit. Using survey data of public sector employees in the Netherlands, Delfgaauw [16] shows that workers' satisfaction with various job domains not only affects whether but also where workers search for another job. The author argues that workers try to leave their current employer when they are uncomfortable with an organisation-specific job domain, like management, but when they are dissatisfied with a job domains which may have an industry-specific component, such as job duties, they want to leave their industry.…”

The primary aim of this paper was to shed light on the impact of subjective alternative wage, wage changes and wage discrimination on job search behavior of employees. The research was based on primary data; the survey was conducted among Hungarian internet user employees. Our results suggest that regardless of their job search behavior employees are aware of alternative wages, which have the greatest impact on intentions to quit and active search. With respect to wage cut and wage increase we have found that they are both significant; the former has strong positive effect on intentions to quit and active search, while the latter reduces the probability of on-the-job search. To our best knowledge, this study was the first to reveal direct impact of wage discrimination on job search behavior of employees according to which there is a weak, but positive effect on intentions to quit and active search. Last but not least, the results of our study confirm the role of non-financial incentives in job search, where superior-subordinate relationships have a special importance.

Delfgaauw (2007) investigated that workers' satisfaction with various job domains not only affects whether but also where workers look for another job based on a survey data of public sector employees in the Netherlands. They explained that workers attempt to quit their jobs when they feel uncomfortable with an organization-specific job domain, e.g.…”
