What is the relationship between long working hours, over-employment, under-employment and the subjective well-being of workers? Longitudinal evidence from the UK (2015, methodology): “Note that the models used in two previous studies of working time mismatch (Friedland and Price, 2003; Wooden et al., 2009) include a measure of SWB in the previous wave of the survey to control for state dependence.”
Valuing scenic amenity using life satisfaction data (2011, result): “In contrast to much of the literature (cf. Ambrey and Fleming, 2011; Shields et al., 2009; Wooden et al., 2009), there is no evidence of social desirability bias, with others being present during the interview having no significant effect on self-reported life satisfaction.”
Uber happy? Work and well-being in the ‘Gig Economy’ (2019, background): “…is interesting in light of a substantial debate over whether working long hours has a causal negative effect on subjective well-being, or whether it simply reflects a mismatch between actual and preferred working time (e.g., Wooden et al 2009; Angrave and Charlwood 2015; Hamermesh et al., 2017).”
Public Greenspace and Life Satisfaction in Urban Australia (2014, result): “Consistent with the findings of Wooden et al. (2009), we find no statistical difference between imputed and reported values.”
Mismatches Between Actual and Preferred Work Time: Empirical Evidence of Hours Constraints in 21 Countries (2010, background): “…authors conclude that work time policies (as currently practiced for example in France) that aim at a general limitation of work hours could impose further mismatches among workers who prefer long hours and therefore result in reduced job and life satisfaction [ see Wooden et al. (2009) p. 172].”
Working Time Preferences, Hours Mismatch and Well-Being of Couples: Are There Spillovers? (2012, methodology): “Wooden et al. (2009) use panel data from the HILDA survey from 2001 to 2005.”
