- Well-being in the workplace is central to sustainable work lives, warranting attention to how (preferred) job qualities matter for job satisfaction. The chapter starts with a description of how work values, job qualities and their matching in eight central dimensions of job quality vary across 24 OECD countries. A novel multidimensional approach to matching between work values and job qualities is proposed, grounded in theoretical expectations of how individuals may prefer several job qualities, to varying degrees. Then the independent importance of matching to job qualities for job satisfaction is assessed—that is, in addition to the direct effects of a wide range of job qualities on job satisfaction. Survey data from the International Social Survey Programme’s Work Orientation Module 2015 are used. Results show how vast majorities strongly value multiple, both extrinsic and intrinsic, value dimensions, but how jobs providing multiple job qualities are generally scarcer, although countries differ greatly in this respect. Importantly, matching to job qualities plays a substantial role for job satisfaction—that is, over and above the direct effects of job quality, where matching to intrinsic job qualities emerges as somewhat more important.

- Female cabin attendants who have been in the occupation for 25 years or more have been interviewed. They were middle-aged, middle-class women, and they told about the decline of working conditions and the work environment during that time. The point of departure is in the interviews and the literature; from there, the chapter constructs a ‘Dignity–Alienation Model’ in order to interpret the interviewees’ narratives. It is built up by continua for a number of dimensions of dignity and alienation. They are Autonomy–Powerlessness, Meaningful work–Meaningless work, Flourishing–Self-estrangement, Respect–Disrespect, and High work-life quality–Low work-life quality. In all dimensions, there has been a clear movement from subjective dignity towards subjective alienation, although the strength of this development varies. It is shown that working conditions and work environment are causal mechanisms bringing about feelings that are relevant for the alterations in the dimensions of the model. Changes in work from good to bad cause a movement from a sense of dignity to one of alienation, which indicates a drastic downturn in both job satisfaction and organizational commitment.
