Abstract
We utilize data collected from over 9,400 employees in five formerly socialist economies to contribute to the ongoing debate on whether significant gender differences in job satisfaction emerge in different cultural environments, focusing specifically on the relationship between job satisfaction and the desirability of expected rewards. Among the participants in our study, we find little evidence supporting the proposition that men desire extrinsic rewards while women desire intrinsic rewards. Moreover, significant gender differences in expectations of receiving a particular reward are rare. Ordered probit regression analysis indicates that the link between expected rewards and job satisfaction varies substantially by gender, by country, and by whether or not the reward is important to the worker.
