Abstract

Using Non-panel longitudinal data from the International Social Survey Program (Work Orientations I, II, and III: 1989, 1997, 2005-survey questions on job characteristics and job quality) and various country-contextual variables, this research applies and extends Wallerstein's (1974, 2000) world systems framework to better understand country-level factors influencing cross-national differences in job characteristics and job satisfaction. This article explores the impact of the world-system on job satisfaction, first identifying and explaining the foundations of the world-system literature, and then using various statistical methods to test for statistically significant impact and variation across countries. Results found significant differences across countries and supported the hypotheses that a country's position within the economic world system impacts the saliency of intrinsic and extrinsic work rewards and characteristics among workers within that country.
