本文从五个维度--外在奖励、内在奖励、工作强度、工作条件和人际关系--以及总体工作满意度，考察了工作质量感知的跨国差异和趋势。我们利用国际社会调查方案提供的四个国家的数据，分析了1989、1997和2005年的国家差异。挪威和西德的工作保障、独立工作能力以及工作条件和人际关系的质量往往比美国和英国更高；美国员工往往对晋升机会、内在回报和整体工作质量最满意。我们发现，随着时间的推移，安全领域的工作岗位和工作强度趋于一致，这可能反映了市场压力的增加，这鼓励了一种“精干而刻薄”的管理策略。
This article examines cross-national differences and trends in perceived job quality, defined in terms of five dimensions — extrinsic rewards, intrinsic rewards, work intensity, working conditions and interpersonal relationships — as well as overall job satisfaction. We analyse country differences in 1989, 1997 and 2005, using data for four countries from the International Social Survey Programme. Job security, the ability to work independently and the quality of working conditions and interpersonal relationships tend to be greater in Norway and West Germany than in the USA and Great Britain; American workers tend to be most satisfied with advancement opportunities, intrinsic rewards and overall job quality. We find convergence in job in security and work intensity over time, which may reflect increased market pressures that encourage a ‘lean and mean’ management strategy.
