Survey Design and the Analysis of Satisfaction (2011, background): “The nonprofit sector has been linked with high levels of job satisfaction in the research literature (Benz, 2005), but we find, for men at least, that the implicit nonwage benefit of nonprofit employment disappears in the SC interview mode, which insulates the respondent”
Fringe benefits and job satisfaction (2010, background): “However, Benz (2005) includes most of the fringe benefits found in NLS waves 1994- 2000 in his study of employees of non-profit organizations and finds only two out of nine fringe benefits are positive and significantly related to job satisfaction and that one is negative and significant.”
The Value of Working Conditions in the United States and Implications for the Structure of Wages (2018, unknown): “There is little evidence about compensating differentials associated with meaningful work, though there is research on wages and job satisfaction among workers at non-profit firms (e.g., Preston, 1989; Leete, 2001; Benz, 2005; Rosso et al., 2010).”
