Abstract

This article analyses the determinants of worker satisfaction in Central and Eastern European countries, focusing on the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. For this purpose, the latest European Social Survey data were utilised in a multilevel framework, covering 5681 workers from eight countries. The results suggest that both the general stringency of policies aimed at containing the spread of the COVID-19 contagion and the resulting disruptions to individuals’ working lives significantly affected the well-being of workers. Workers’ satisfaction with their jobs was negatively affected mainly through decreases in work income, but the impact on their overall life satisfaction was more complex. While income reductions and workplace relocation negatively impacted life satisfaction, the opportunity and possible necessity to stay home more positively affected the life satisfaction of workers. Nevertheless, the overall stringency of governmental policies related to COVID-19 significantly reduced workers’ life satisfaction.

新冠肺炎大流行期间中东欧劳动者满意度调查
本文分析了中欧和东欧国家工人满意度的决定因素,重点是COVID-19大流行的影响。为此目的,最新的欧洲社会调查数据被用于多层次框架,涵盖了来自八个国家的5681名工人。研究结果表明,旨在遏制COVID-19蔓延的政策普遍严格,以及由此对个人工作生活造成的干扰,都严重影响了工人的福祉。工人对工作的满意度主要通过工作收入的减少而受到负面影响,但对他们整体生活满意度的影响更为复杂。虽然收入减少和工作场所搬迁对生活满意度有负面影响,但留在家里的机会和可能的必要性对工人的生活满意度有更积极的影响。然而,政府对新冠肺炎相关政策的总体严格程度显著降低了劳动者的生活满意度。
