New Research: Job Satisfaction – An International Comparison of Public and Private Sector Employees
Check out the new peer-reviewed academic research out in the new issue of the?International Journal of Public Administration, "Job Satisfaction – An International Comparison of Public and Private Sector Employees," by HCI Research Associates, Dr. Maureen Snow Andrade and Dr. Jonathan H. Westover.
Abstract: "Benefits of job satisfaction include increased productivity, performance, creativity, innovation, motivation, and involvement. The current study examines a global sample from 37 countries to examine the effects of work-life balance, intrinsic and extrinsic rewards, and work relations on job satisfaction for public and private sector employees, using data from the International Social Survey Program. Descriptive results show a significant difference between these workers in the study’s main variables, with several areas higher for public workers. Additionally, regression analyses identify significant differences, mostly favoring public workers. A key contribution of the study is the finding that a one-size-fits-all model of job satisfaction does not work equally across the globe (context matters). However, the findings do lead to specific, actionable items for managers. Future research should examine more detailed country-specific variations and the corresponding causes and explore private/public sector determinants on a global basis."
International Book Awards Finalist:
Dr. Westover's new book, The Future Leader, was recognized as a finalist in the "Management & Leadership" category in the International Book Awards!

Deliberate Job Design And How You Can Craft More Purpose Into Your Work
From the conclusion: "Using Hackman and Oldham’s job characteristics model (skill variety, task identity, task significance, autonomy and feedback), or Pink’s modern popularized application (autonomy, mastery and purpose), organizations, leaders and employees alike have the framework and tools necessary to immediately improve work design, infuse any job with more meaning and purpose and increase a range of employee outcomes, such as motivation, satisfaction, engagement, productivity and innovation. Let’s take ownership of our work, strive to improve the work of our people and make every job a job we are excited to go to."
Feeling Burned Out At Work? 13 Ways To Diagnose And Address It
"Consider How The Aspects Of Your Life Interact:?Our lives are not neatly segmented and compartmentalized units. Work bleeds into personal life, personal life into work life and so on. Understanding the root cause of your burnout can only happen as we consider the interaction effects of the different aspects of our life. Is your workplace supportive of you as a whole person (for example, is there flexibility in scheduling)? If not, then it is a workplace issue."
10 Times It’s Appropriate For A Professional To Say ‘No’ At Work
"When You’re Asked To Do Someone Else’s Work: It is essential that we learn to set and maintain professional boundaries. While it is easy (even tempting) to relent to pressure or even see every “yes” as a career opportunity, the reality is that organizations and leaders tend to exploit their people, even if that is not the intention. Fulfill the requirements of your job and continually learn and grow, but don’t say “yes” to other people’s work."
