工作质量是一个及时的问题，因为它对个人、公司和国家的福祉有潜在的影响。这种新的兴趣强调了对工作质量进行强有力的概念化的必要性。本文提供的背景，重新对工作质量的兴趣，并借鉴的贡献，特别问题，开始映射工作质量的维度，影响工作质量的因素，工作质量的结果或影响。我们确定了一些新兴的主题。首先，工作质量是一个多维现象。第二，影响工作质量的因素和力量是多层次的。第三，工作质量的研究本质上是一个多学科的努力。第四，工作质量是一种背景现象，因人、职业和劳动力市场部门、社会和历史时期而异。我们的工作质量地图，以及特刊中的文章，为更好地理解工作质量的理论挑战和政策相关问题提供了基础和跳板。
Job quality is a timely issue because of its potential impact on individual, firm and national well-being. This renewed interest underscores the need for robust conceptualization of job quality. This article provides background to the renewed interest in job quality and, drawing on the contributions to the Special Issue, starts to map the dimensions of job quality, the factors that influence job quality, and the outcomes or impacts of job quality. We identify a number of emergent themes. First, job quality is a multidimensional phenomenon. Second, multiple factors and forces operating at multiple levels influence job quality. Third, the study of job quality is an inherently multi-disciplinary endeavour. Fourth, job quality is a contextual phenomenon, differing among persons, occupations and labour market segments, societies and historical periods. Our mapping of job quality, and the articles in the Special Issue, provide a foundation and springboard for understanding better the theoretically challenging and policy-relevant issue of job quality.
