“…As for the relation between job satisfaction levels and economic insecurity on the one hand and age of the respondent on the other, our estimates are consistent with those of earlier studies (Lorence & Mortimer, 1985;Varca et al, 1983;Linz, 2003). The obtained estimates of relation between levels of economic insecurity and levels education of employees are consistent with earlier results as well (Lincoln & Kalleberg, 1985).…”

Investigation into job satisfaction determinants is of high practical relevance since it acts as an indicator of particular groups of employees' willingness to invest in development of professional competencies and skills. The paper presents results of empirical analysis of determinants of job satisfaction, satisfaction with professional advancement prospects as well as concerns over possible job loss carried out using panel data representing working population of Russia. The main results obtained lead us to the following conclusions. Employment functions as well as financial incentives have the strongest influence over job satisfaction and satisfaction with professional advancement prospects, while respondents representing all professions reviewed are generally equally concerned with possible job loss. Age and length of respondent's employment are nonlinearly related to satisfaction indicators while gender differences are not significant. Residents of large cities are less frequently satisfied with their jobs and professional advancement prospects; however, they are much less concerned about possible job loss. Those employed by state-owned companies and agencies more frequently express satisfaction with their current positions. The analysis also reveals a distinct decline in job satisfaction level and in satisfaction with professional advancement opportunities in the crisis years of 2009 and 2010.

Cross-cultural research is dominated by the use of values despite their mixed empirical support and their limited theoretical scope. This article expands the dominant paradigm in cross-cultural research by developing a theory of cultural tightness-looseness (the strength of social norms and the degree of sanctioning within societies) and by advancing a multilevel research agenda for future research. Through an exploration of the top-down, bottom-up, and moderating impact that cultural tightness-looseness has on individuals and organizations, as well as on variance at multiple levels of analysis, the theory provides a new and complementary perspective to the values approach.
