We show that worker wellbeing is not only related to the amount of compensation workers receive but also how they receive it. While previous theoretical and empirical work has often been pre-occupied with individual performance-related pay, we here demonstrate a robust positive link between the...

Does High Involvement Management Improve Worker Wellbeing?

Barmby, Tim; Bryson, Alex; Eberth, Barbara - Centre for Economic Performance, LSE - 2012

Using a model of wage determination developed by Stevens (2003) we offer an explanation of why tenure has a negative effect when entered in job satisfaction equations. If job satisfaction measures match quality, then the explanation follows from a model of the labour market in which workers...

Does Union Membership Really Reduce Job Satisfaction?

Bryson, Alex; Cappellari, Lorenzo; Lucifora, Claudio - Centre for Economic Performance, LSE - 2003

We investigate the effect of union membership on job satisfaction. Whilst it is common to study the effects of union status on satisfaction treating individual membership as given, in this paper, we account for the endogenous selection induced by the sorting of workers into unionised jobs. Using...
