Special Issue: Job Satisfaction Revisited
Work is often more than mere employment. Work can mean participation, give meaning, bring joy. Job satisfaction is therefore not only a socio-technical parameter that needs to be observed because of its effects and side effects, but is over and above an independent aim of an organisation or a business.
In the special issue and the corresponding seminar, we would like to discuss job satisfaction in an adequately broad and interdisciplinary way. We are particularly interested in questions such as:
Work conditions are changing, so are the demands on work. Are there new empirical facets of job satisfaction?
The operationalisation of job satisfaction is considered to be difficult, especially when it is interpreted as an intra- or interindividual process. Survey research hardly takes account of that.
We would like to discuss ways and problems of measuring job satisfaction.
The “fight for joy in work” is associated with the normative views of a good life. Which ethical implications does the construct ‘job satisfaction’ hold?
Research on job satisfaction goes back to the beginnings of modern social science, economy, as well as sociology. We are interested in the research history of the construct ‘job satisfaction’.
This is not an exhaustive list.
