摘要 This study investigated factors that influence employees’job satisfaction in China and whether they differ across age groups.Analysis was conducted using the 2014 China Labor-force Dynamics Survey,which included 6,249 employees in three age groups:634 aged 55 and older;2,569 aged 40-54;and 3,046 aged 18-39.The results indicate that when gender,age,marital status,living community type and education levels are controlled,total job satisfaction was associated with positive evaluations of income,job security,working environment,working time,promotion opportunity,job enjoyability,colleague relationships,ability and skills utilization,respect from others,and opportunities to express opinions.Regression analysis results indicate that age has positive effects on total job satisfaction.The older employees had the highest evaluations for job security,working environment,working time,income,job enjoyability,and total job satisfaction.The middle-aged employees had the highest evaluations for respect from others.The younger group had the highest evaluations for colleague relationships,ability and skills utilization,opportunities to express opinions,job enjoyability,promotion opportunity,and respect from others.Additionally,the older group did not value promotion opportunity,opportunities to express opinions,colleague relationships,ability and skills utilization,and respect from others.The findings highlight the importance of examining age related needs regarding how to improve employees’job satisfaction.The results suggest that employers should consider age-related challenges and needs in the workplace.
