Using data from the Sixth European Working Conditions Survey collected in 2015, estimates
of the contribution of workplace environmental factors to the job satisfaction of about 44,000
Europeans from 35 countries are presented. Workplace environmental conditions are shown
to play an important role in explaining job satisfaction, comparable to contract conditions
such as pay increases and contract duration. Interestingly, the results are not driven by the
perception of health or safety risks associated with worse environmental conditions.
