The Economics of Happiness (2021, background): “In addition, subjective well-being is important as it credibly predicts productivity, creativity, income, and jobrelated behaviors, such as effort and quits (Clark, 2001; De Neve et al., 2013; Green, 2010; Nikolova & Cnossen, 2020; Oswald & Proto, 2015).”
Enhancing importance‐performance analysis (2006, background): “The European Employee Indexe rests on a solid foundation of academic research in the field of job satisfaction (Baker, 1995; Allen and Meyer, 1996; Eby et al., 1999; Gaertner, 1999; Clark, 2001; de Jonge et al., 2001; Eskildsen et al., 2004a,b) and is thought to provide a generic approach to job s”
Income and happiness: Evidence, explanations and economic implications (2006, background): “A number of labour market studies have shown that job satisfaction is a strong predictor of job quits, even when controlling for wages, hours of work and other standard individual and job variables (see, for example, Freeman, 1978; Clark et al., 1998; Clark, 2001; Kristensen and Westergaard-Nielsen,”
Job Satisfaction in Britain: Coping with Complexity (2005, positive): “Clark has shown that satisfaction with security is by far the most important job facet for predicting voluntary quits ( Clark 2001; Clark et al. 1998).”
New Evidence on Cross-Country Differences in Job Satisfaction Using Anchoring Vignettes (2008, background): “Within the economics profession, a series of studies on subjective well-being, life satisfaction and job satisfaction have proliferated in recent years, (see Frey and Stutzer 2002a, Frey and Stutzer 2002b, van Praag and Ferrer-iCarbonell 2004 and Clark et al. (2006) for recent, large scale surveys).”
The relationship between employee satisfaction and organisational performance : evidence from a South African government department : original research (2013, background): “Clark (2001) also acknowledges that if a job is interesting and provides the opportunity for an individual to utilise his or her skills, the individual is bound to enjoy the job and the likelihood of that individual leaving the organisation is significantly reduced.”
Beyond Money (2004, background): “Lucas, Clark, Georgellis, and Diener (2003) found that widows’ life satisfaction dropped substantially”
Teacher turnover and non-pecuniary factors (2003, background): “1 Clark (2001) provides a short overview of the literature on job quits and job satisfaction in psychology, sociology and management and presents evidence showing that job satisfaction measures are important predictors of worker quits even after controlling for wages.”
Job Insecurity and Wages (2007, positive): “Finally, the level of overall job satisfaction is included, because there is evidence that low satisfaction is a robust predictor of job quitting (Clark, 2001).17 The residuals from this probit are used to generate a selectivity term, which is then included in the wages growth equation.”
Will GDP Growth Increase Happiness in Developing Countries? (2011, background): “…apparent in the labor market, where the job satisfaction that the individual reports at a certain point in time is a good predictor of her being observed in the future to have quit her job (examples are Freeman, 1978, Clark et al., 1998, Clark, 2001, and Kristensen and Westergaard-Nielsen, 2006).”
