title = {Public Sector Work and Happiness: An Exploratory Study},
year = {2017},
note = {A large body of research has investigated the determinants of life
satisfaction as one form of happiness. Whilst these studies have
investigated both work and non-work related determinants of life
satisfaction, they have not studied the impact of public sector
employment on life satisfaction. Hence I investigate the impact of
work-related characteristics and human resource management practices
in different public sector organizations on the life satisfaction of
public sector employees. The analyses presented in this paper draw on
two different datasets with the aim to generate first insights into
the relation between public sector employment and happiness. Results
partially support that institutional differences between the private
and public sector matter for employee happiness.},
