Evaluation of the Effects of Education on Job Satisfaction: Independent Single-Equation vs. Structural Equation Models
TLDR
In this article, independent single-equation models and structural equation models are used to analyze both direct and indirect impacts of education length, and of the match between education and employment, on job satisfaction after controlling for individual-specific and job-specific attributes, including health status and wages.Abstract:
Independent single-equation models and structural equation models are used to analyze both direct and indirect impacts of education length, and of the match between education and employment, on job satisfaction after controlling for individual-specific and job-specific attributes, including health status and wages The main results show that: (1) education/job mismatches, both in level and domain, reduce utility from work irrespective of schooling years and other individual/job characteristics; (2) the effects of education on job satisfaction are mainly indirect effects transmitted though the influence of schooling on workers’ health status, wages and other observable job characteristics; and (3) neglecting the structure of covariance among the determinants of job satisfaction results in upward bias in the estimation of the direct effect of schooling length, and in downward bias in the estimates for the effects of other personal circumstancesread more

Direct and indirect effects of education on job satisfaction: A structural equation model for the Spanish case
M. Eugenia Fabra,César Camisón +1 more
TL;DR: The authors proposed a structural equation model to obtain both the direct effects and the set of indirect effects of education on job satisfaction, and showed that people with higher levels of formal education are more satisfied with their jobs, because they are more likely to access jobs with characteristics that provide greater satisfaction.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors tried to test the hypothesis that utility depends on income relative to a "comparison" or reference level using data on 5,000 British workers and found that workers' reported satisfaction levels are inversely related to their comparison wage rates.

The causal effect of education on earnings
TL;DR: This paper surveys the recent literature on the causal relationship between education and earnings and concludes that the average (or average marginal) return to education is not much below the estimate that emerges from a standard human capital earnings function fit by OLS.
