Happiness and Economics
Author: Bruno S. FreyPublisher: Princeton University Press
ISBN: 1400829267
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 233
Book Description
Curiously, economists, whose discipline has much to do with human well-being, have shied away from factoring the study of happiness into their work. Happiness, they might say, is an ''unscientific'' concept. This is the first book to establish empirically the link between happiness and economics--and between happiness and democracy. Two respected economists, Bruno S. Frey and Alois Stutzer, integrate insights and findings from psychology, where attempts to measure quality of life are well-documented, as well as from sociology and political science. They demonstrate how micro- and macro-economic conditions in the form of income, unemployment, and inflation affect happiness. The research is centered on Switzerland, whose varying degrees of direct democracy from one canton to another, all within a single economy, allow for political effects to be isolated from economic effects. Not surprisingly, the authors confirm that unemployment and inflation nurture unhappiness. Their most striking revelation, however, is that the more developed the democratic institutions and the degree of local autonomy, the more satisfied people are with their lives. While such factors as rising income increase personal happiness only minimally, institutions that facilitate more individual involvement in politics (such as referendums) have a substantial effect. For countries such as the United States, where disillusionment with politics seems to be on the rise, such findings are especially significant. By applying econometrics to a real-world issue of general concern and yielding surprising results, Happiness and Economics promises to spark healthy debate over a wide range of the social sciences.

Commitment to Work and Job Satisfaction
Author: Bengt FuråkerPublisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1136485228
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 277
Book Description
People’s work orientations and attitudes to paid work are highly important for the welfare of any country. Still, little is currently known about how such attitudes are distributed among different countries, men and women, classes, occupations, age groups and so on. Even less is known about how work orientations have changed during the dramatic social transformations of economies and labour markets during recent decades. What happened, for example, to work orientations in Iceland when the country went bankrupt? The answer is quite surprising. Or, is it true that work is losing its position in people’s lives in Western world? What is the relationship between people’s attitudes to work and the way they actually behave on the labour market? This timely book deals with these questions – and more – presenting fresh knowledge on changes in work orientations in many countries. It is based on genuine theoretical arguments and thorough empirical studies, using both qualitative and quantitative methods. It is a great source of new knowledge on work orientations and changes in attitudes to work.

Job Satisfaction in Women Employees in Management

Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
A high turnover rate among representatives is a major reason for concern for those representatives since it disrupts routine work, creates morale problems for those representatives who remain in their positions, and raises the costs involved with selecting and preparing replacements. Because the company is committed to reducing employee turnover as much as it possibly can, it does all in its power to ensure that its current staff members are happy in their jobs. It has been shown beyond a reasonable doubt that worker turnover is directly related to job satisfaction. It has been demonstrated that workers who have moderately low degrees of employment fulfilment are well on their way to stop their employments, and that hierarchical units with the most minimal normal fulfilment levels will generally have the most significant turnover rates. This is the case because workers who have moderately low degrees of employment fulfilment are well on their way to stop their employments. Regardless of this, the behaviour of representatives when they withdraw their votes may be altered by specific factors. A good example of this is steadfastness to the association. Despite the fact that they are dissatisfied with their current jobs, several reps are unable to see themselves working somewhere else. The accessibility of various company locations is another factor that influences turnover. In spite of the fact that he is now experiencing a satisfactory level of job satisfaction, an employee should not feel guilty about exploring other career opportunities, regardless of whether or not better pastures are available. The term "occupation satisfaction" refers to the degree to which a person enjoys the work that they do. It is only possible to collect it, but not to see it. To a large extent, an employee's sense of contentment in their job is determined by the degree to which their work satisfies or even exceeds their expectations. To get happiness in one's activity requires taking on more responsibilities and working toward the fulfilment of formal needs. There is a greater potential to interfere with an individual's vitality and time when it comes to professional performance. It is common practise to use the phrases "job satisfaction" and "occupation mentalities" in a contradictory manner. Both of these phrases refer to people's work positions and the possible route in which they should be heading in order to be successful in those occupations. Positive attitudes toward the activity are almost equivalent to job satisfaction, whilst unfavourable attitudes toward the task indicate work dissatisfaction.
