Abstract

In den herkömmlichen Wirtschaftswissenschaften wurde viel Energie darauf verwendet, die Effizienzgewinne der Spezialisierung nachzuweisen, auch im Agrarsektor. Während die These von Marx und Engels, wonach die Diversifikation unseres Arbeitslebens unsere Arbeitszufriedenheit erhöhen würde, in den Sozialwissenschaft durchaus Aufmerksamkeit erzeugt wurde, wurde diese These für den Agrarsektor nie verifiziert, ungeachtet einer anwachsenden Literatur zu den Determinanten der Arbeitszufriedenheit. Dieser Beitrag nützt eine Umfrage unter schweizerischen und nordostdeutschen Landwirten, um zu zeigen, dass betriebliche Diversifikation die Arbeitszufriedenheit signifikant erhöht. Dies trifft auf die Anzahl der Produktlinien auf einem Landwirtschaftsbetrieb zu, aber auch auf nichtlandwirtschaftliche Aktivitäten auf dem Betrieb.
