Rural-Urban Differences in Job Satisfaction: Further Evidence

Abstract

The article focuses on a study which examined the impact of both size of place of socialization and place of current residence on rural-urban differences in job satisfaction. As far as the job level-extrinsic job satisfaction relationship is concerned, it appears that size of place of origin may moderate this relationship. It stresses the importance of specific measurement, especially regarding geographic areas of socialization. Experts say residential setting must be specified precisely to capture effects of the place of origin variables. The rural-urban differences in origin seem to explain the differences in intrinsic job satisfaction.
