Abstract

We review the literature on the economics of happiness with respect to one of the most important areas of life: work. In particular, we document how different modes of employment, such as unemployment, self-employment or part-time employment affect subjective well-being. In contrast to traditional management research, we mostly rely on studies that use large-scale panel data and measures of happiness other than job satisfaction. This allows us to reveal the important part identity seems to play in the life of workers.
