“…According to Glisson and Durick (1988), empirical findings have supported the assumption that employees' satisfaction at work are intrinsically related to aspects of the task itself such as the amount of complex and different abilities employees use to perform their daily activity and the job overall importance to the organization, co-workers, and society.…”

This research aims to compare the public and private sectors with regard to satisfaction at work. We conducted a survey with 670 professionals from both sectors in Brazil. The results of variance analysis confirm previous researches indicating that public officials are less satisfied with their work than private sector workers. However, this result does not repeat when we evaluate the satisfaction dimensions. For instance, public officials reported being more satisfied than private sector workers with regard to social environment and work stability. Unexpectedly, the results suggest that there is no difference between these sectors when we analyze the satisfaction with supervision. Therefore, this article is relevant for Brazilian managers, by offering an empirical research on the distinction between public and private. The article also discusses the theoretical implications, since Brazilian findings do not completely support the international literature. Os funcionários públicos estão realmente menos satisfeitos que os trabalhadores do setor privado? Um estudo comparado no Brasil O objetivo desta pesquisa é comparar os setores público e privado em relação à satisfação no trabalho. Foi realizado um survey com 670 profissionais de ambos os setores no Brasil. Os resultados da análise de variância confirmam as pesquisas anteriores indicando que os funcionários públicos estão menos satisfeitos com seu trabalho que os trabalhadores do setor privado. No entanto, esse resultado não se repete quando avaliadas as dimensões da satisfação. Por exemplo, os funcionários públicos relataram estar mais satisfeitos que os trabalhadores da iniciativa privada em relação ao ambiente social e à estabilidade no trabalho. Inesperadamente, os resultados sugerem que não existe diferença entre os setores quando analisada a satisfação com a supervisão. Portanto, este artigo é relevante para os gestores brasileiros, pois oferece uma pesquisa empírica sobre a distinção entre público e privado. Este artigo também discute as implicações teóricas, pois os achados brasileiros não confirmam totalmente a literatura internacional. 1478Renata Borges ¿Los funcionarios públicos están realmente menos satisfechos que los trabajadores del sector privado?

“…Thus, nonprofits involved in human services are highly dependent on the quality, motivation, and satisfaction of their employees for the delivery of their services (Akingbola, 2006). Job satisfaction is influenced by many endogenous factors at the workplace, such as relations with co-workers, supervisors, and clients (Borzaga & Depedri, 2005;Ducharme, Knudsen, & Roman, 2008;Ewald, 1997), professional development possibilities (Borzaga & Tortia, 2006), and compensation and appropriateness of wages (Glisson & Durick, 1988). Other, often underrated factors in employees' job satisfaction is their perception of human resource (HR) practices (Nishii, Lepak, & Schneider, 2008) and their evaluation of the extent to which the job fulfills their own needs and values (Locke, 1976).…”

“…In general (Bass, 1985), (Hater and Bass 1988), (Morris and Sherman (1981), have shown in their research that style of leadership is an organizational feature whereby commitment is foreseen. Also Andrew states that studies on athlete's commitment and leadership is very rare to a point where he claims, have not seen any (Andrew 2004), (Glisson and Durick (1988). There are many studies on coaches' style of leadership, where relationships between coaches' styles of leadership and different team and individual outcomes like harmony and satisfaction, have been studied.…”
