The Education-Job Satisfaction Paradox in the Public Sector. Public Organization Review, 23(4), (pp. 1717-1735). https://doi.org/10.1007/s11115-023-00726-0 1566-7170 http://hdl.handle.net/10366/154189 10.1007/s11115-023-00726-0 1573-7098 We compare the self-reported satisfaction of workers, employed in the private and the public sectors across European countries, with their working conditions and pay and have reached a controversial conclusion. Although we have found there are more educated workers in the public sector than in the private sector, higher-educated workers report lower levels of satisfaction with their working conditions and income when employed in the public sector, which was the opposite for less educated workers employed in this same sector. In contrast, we found a positive association between education and job satisfaction for workers employed in the private sector. application/pdf eng Springer Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 Internacional http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/ info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess Education Job satisfaction Public sector Private sector 6306 Sociología del Trabajo The Education-Job Satisfaction Paradox in the Public Sector info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion https://doi.org/10.1007/s11115-023-00726-0 Public Organization Review 23 4 1717 1735
