Does Privatization Improve Job Satisfaction? The Case of Ghanahttp://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.worlddev.2006.11.0072007Asiedu, K.F.Folmer, H.This paper analyzes the impacts of privatization in Ghana on the basis of a survey of 300 workers in privatized and state-owned enterprises. The findings indicate a significant positive relationship between privatization and job satisfaction. Whereas monthly wage is an important determinant of job satisfaction in state-owned enterprises, education and the availability of training opportunities are strong determinants in privatized enterprises. The study also shows that there exists a variety of instruments to implement a privatization program smoothly.Leerstoelgroep Economie van consumenten en huishoudensArticle/Letter to editorunknown/unknownWorld Development 35 (2007) 10ISSN: 0305-750XWageningen URhttp://library.wur.nl/oaioai:library.wur.nl:wurpubs/3582732009-09-22T00:00:00Zhttp://www.openarchives.org/OAI/2.0/oai_dc/
