Abstract: | Little is known regarding the effects of minimum wage adjustments on job quality and job satisfaction. Our investigation found that for minimum wage workers in continuing employment relationships, work satisfaction unequivocally increased relative to a control group following the introduction of the minimum wage in Germany. Possible reasons include improvements in objective jobs quality such as higher hourly and gross wages, and shorter work hours. However, changes in the organisation of work also appear to have played a role. We find indications for more motivation oriented personnel management and improved work atmosphere in existing minimum wage jobs. Combined with a better work life balance these aspects play a larger role in explaining increased job satisfaction than mere wage satisfaction. |
