Abstract

Satisfaction of workers plays an important role in the determination of workers’ behaviour such as labour turnover, work incentive, etc. Freeman and Medoff (1984), and Freeman (1980a), for example, investigated the role of satisfaction in the determination of separations from firms, and obtained the fact that satisfied workers tend to stay in the firm. Also, they investigated the role of union-voice when unions (or employees) want to transmit their members’ feelings and opinions to employers. They found that strong union-voices against employers reduced the degree of dissatisfaction among union members because employers listened to these voices and modified their management policy to deal with employees’ dissatisfaction.
