Abstract
This study expands the application of the Morris and Winter (1978) housing adjustment theory to study housing satisfaction of a temporary migrant population. The proposed empirical model hypothesized the effects of household characteristics and housing deficits on housing satisfaction. The model was tested with a sample of 225 Korean temporary migrants in the U.S. Findings indicated that housing deficits were significant mediators between household characteristics and housing satisfaction. The results also revealed that the quality deficit and neighborhood deficit predicted housing satisfaction most strongly, suggesting that the physical quality of housing and neighborhood conditions are crucial to the housing satisfaction of temporary migrants. In this study, unlike previous ones, when housing deficits were controlled, most of the demographic household characteristics did not predict housing satisfaction.
