“…The analysis of the relevance of gender and job type (permanent, contracted, or selfemployed) on job satisfaction showed that only job type was relevant for job satisfaction. Self-employed workers were more satisfied than contracted employees, a result that is consistent with previous findings [58,59]. In addition, marital status was not related to job satisfaction, as found in previous research [11].…”

Although studies have found that job satisfaction has an impact on workers’ physical and mental health, research has generally not focused on the psychological well-being of adult workers and a gender differential analysis has not been conducted. The aim of the current research is to determine the importance of job satisfaction for mental symptoms and well-being among adult working women and men. We also examine gender differences in job satisfaction. A non-probability sample of 1977 Spanish workers (51.6% men and 48.4% women) aged between 36 and 65 years was used in this cross-sectional study. Six questionnaires and self-report scales were used to assess the participants. For both men and women, higher job satisfaction was associated with lower depressive, somatic, anxiety, and social dysfunction symptoms; higher life satisfaction; and greater psychological well-being. Hierarchical multiple regression analyses showed that after controlling for the effects of self-esteem and social support, higher job satisfaction predicted greater life satisfaction, fewer mental symptoms, and greater psychological well-being, although the effect of job satisfaction on psychological well-being was somewhat stronger for men than for women. We conclude that job satisfaction is important for the mental health, psychological well-being, and life satisfaction of adult working women and men.

“…The relationship between self-employment and well-being has also been explored, with studies indicating that establishing this relationship is challenging due to simultaneous selection and contextual effects (Xiu & Ren, 2022). Moreover, the experience of self-employment has been found to impact facets of well-being, including satisfaction with job, leisure, and income (Litsardopoulos et al, 2022). Additionally, the relationship between precarious employment and subjective well-being in Korean wage workers has been investigated, revealing a negative impact on subjective well-being (Choi et al, 2020).…”

This study conducts a comprehensive comparative analysis of the impact of environmental policies on oil and gas operations in Africa and the United States, shedding light on the regulatory frameworks that govern these crucial industries. As global concerns about climate change and environmental sustainability continue to rise, the role of governmental policies in shaping the practices of oil and gas companies has become a focal point of discussion. The research explores the diverse approaches taken by African nations and the USA in formulating and implementing environmental policies for the oil and gas sector. It investigates the regulatory landscapes, enforcement mechanisms, and the degree of alignment with international environmental standards in each region. The study employs a multidimensional framework, considering economic, social, and environmental dimensions, to assess the effectiveness of these policies in mitigating the environmental impact of oil and gas activities. By conducting a comparative review, the research identifies best practices, challenges, and areas for improvement in both regions. It examines the balance between fostering economic growth through energy production and ensuring sustainable environmental practices. Additionally, the study delves into the socio-economic implications of these policies, evaluating their effects on local communities, employment, and overall well-being. Through the analysis of case studies, regulatory documents, and industry reports, this research contributes to the ongoing dialogue on the role of environmental policies in shaping the oil and gas sector. The findings aim to inform policymakers, industry stakeholders, and environmental advocates about effective strategies for promoting sustainable practices while supporting the energy needs of growing economies. Ultimately, the comparative insights offered by this study contribute to the development of globally applicable guidelines for environmentally responsible oil and gas operations. Keywords: Oil and Gas, Environment, USA, Africa, Review.
