对一份工作的兴趣会提高工作满意度、学习能力和工作表现，并阻止在职者辞职。本文首次量化了工作兴趣的关键决定因素的重要性。此外，还探讨了日本的有趣工作比其他高收入国家少得多的原因（H）。使用国际社会调查方案和日本小组调查数据进行分解分析。在H和日本，兴趣匹配和工作的亲社会意义是工作兴趣的三个最重要的预测因素之二。第三个最重要的预测因素是H的工作自主性，而在日本，它是相关性（与管理层和同事的关系），这意味着使工作有趣的最有效方法因文化和工作组织而异。解释日本和H之间的工作兴趣差距的最大因素是日本的工作自主性水平较低，虽然促进自主性是一个不太有效的方式来提高工作兴趣在日本。
Interest in a job enhances job satisfaction, learning, and task performance, and deters the job-holder from quitting. This paper quantifies the importance of the key determinants of job interestingness for the first time. It also explores the reasons why there are much fewer interesting jobs in Japan than in other high-income countries (H). Decomposition analyses are performed using the International Social Survey Programme and Japanese panel survey data. In both H and Japan, interest match and prosocial meaning of the job are two of the three most important predictors of job interestingness. The third top predictor is job autonomy in H, whereas in Japan it is relatedness (relationship with management and colleagues), implying that the most effective ways to make a job interesting vary across cultures and work organizations. The largest factor explaining the job interestingness gap between Japan and H is Japan's lower level of job autonomy, although promoting autonomy is a less effective way to enhance job interestingness in Japan.
