Karl, Katherine A.; Sutton, Cynthia L.
Public Personnel Management, v27 n4 p515-27 Win 1998
A comparison of 47 public- and 170 private-sector workers revealed private-sector workers value good wages most and public-sector workers value interesting work. Results suggest that employers must keep in touch with employee values to design jobs, reward systems, and human-resource policies that will result in maximum job satisfaction. (JOW)
