In particular, we document how different modes of employment, such as unemployment, self-employment or part-time employment affect subjective well-being. In contrast to traditional management research, we mostly rely on studies that use large-scale panel data and measures of happiness other than job satisfaction. This allows us to reveal the important part identity seems to play in the life of workers.}, journal = {Die Unternehmung}, pages = {368--389}, author = {Hetschko, Clemens and Schöb, Ronnie}, volume = {71}, number = {4} }
