For this objective, we use microdata from a nationallyrepresentative Spanish survey and include overall job satisfaction and job facets satisfaction in the current job and information on work values as additional regressorsto explain why employees prefer to work in the public sector. The main result ofour estimates is that the satisfaction variables are significant factors explaining thepreference for public jobs.
