Abstract
Benefits of job satisfaction include increased productivity, performance, creativity, innovation, motivation, and involvement. The current study makes global comparisons relative to 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. Comparative means 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 private/public sector is a statistically significant control variable.
