Abstract
Previous studies on changes in job quality have merely described changes in work and employment conditions. Job quality, however, is an evaluative-relational concept: On the one hand, the evaluation of job quality always implies a judgmental perspective; on the other hand, different work and employment conditions weight unevenly in determining job quality as a whole. This paper explores how perceived work and employment conditions have changed in relation to their respective reference points, the work-related values of employees. In addition, the relative effects of single aspects on overall job quality are investigated. The analysis is based on data from the International Social Survey Program (ISSP) from the years 1989,1997, and 2006. In contrast to existing studies, the findings presented here indicate that perceived work situation and work values of employees change in distinct ways and that particular dimensions of job quality differ in their respective relevance. © Lucius & Lucius Verlag Stuttgart.
