Abstract

Purpose This article responds to the call for more research on mobile work by exploring how the aspirations of these workers relate to job satisfaction through adaptation to the job characteristics they experience. Design/methodology/approach Based on aspiration theory and the literature on mobile work, the paper examines how mobile workers form aspirations and how this is related to their perception of job satisfaction. The empirical analysis uses a two-tier stochastic frontier analysis and the 2015 European Working Conditions Survey dataset. Findings Mobile workers formulate higher aspirations than the working conditions they experience and report lower levels of job satisfaction than other types of workers. They revise their aspirations downwards when they experience autonomy, discretion, performance-related pay schemes, relation-oriented leadership while they increase their aspirations when they experience work intensification and discrimination. Originality/value This paper provides new insights into the work perceptions of mobile workers and enriches existing research by highlighting the importance of the study of individual aspirations to advance understanding of the complex dynamics of mobile work.

欧洲的流动工作、个人抱负和工作满意度
本文通过探索这些工人的愿望如何通过适应他们所经历的工作特征与工作满意度相关联,回应了对移动工作进行更多研究的呼吁。基于抱负理论和关于移动工作的文献,本文研究了移动工作者如何形成抱负,以及这与他们对工作满意度的看法有何关系。实证分析使用了两层随机前沿分析和2015年欧洲工作条件调查数据集。流动工作者比他们所经历的工作条件更有抱负,报告的工作满意度比其他类型的工作者低。当他们经历自主权、自由裁量权、与绩效挂钩的薪酬计划、关系导向的领导时,他们会降低自己的愿望,而当他们经历工作强化和歧视时,他们会提高自己的愿望。原创性/价值本文为移动工作者的工作感知提供了新的见解,并通过强调研究个人愿望对推进对移动工作复杂动态的理解的重要性,丰富了现有的研究。
