Abstract
The article reviews foreign and russian quantitative studies on job satisfaction. The place of job satisfaction in the overall assessment of the quality of working life is shown. A review of studies that consider different sets of factors as an explanation for the level of job satisfaction is carried out. Based on the data of the Russian Longitudinal Monitoring Survey of the National Research University Higher School of Economics (RLMS-HSE) for 2019-2020 an analysis of individual indicators of the quality of working life was carried out. Hypotheses are put forward regarding the factors influencing job satisfaction and these hypotheses are tested on the basis of data from the RLMS-HSE. The author comes to the conclusion that there are correlations between various types of satisfaction (wages, working conditions, opportunities for professional growth, financial situation and life in general), they are positive, highly significant and quite strong. There is a correlation between job satisfaction and the degree of trust of employees in their colleagues and management, the presence of subordinates, the amount of money earned, the type of settlement (expectedly, cities have the highest percentage of job satisfaction), the level of education and the desire to find another job. The dependence of job satisfaction on gender, marital status, age, Russian or foreign ownership of the enterprise, state or private enterprise, promotion or transfer to another unit was not confirmed. Multiple correlation analysis showed heterogeneity of determinants of job satisfaction depending on the place of residence, age and income level of the respondents. The analysis showed that the increase in job satisfaction reduces the likelihood that an employee wants to find a new job, as well as the likelihood that he already has a second job.
