Abstract

The paper explores the relationship between personal, economic and time-dependent covariates as determinants of the job satisfaction expressed by graduate workers. After discussing the main results of the literature, the work emphasizes a statistical modelling approach able to effectively estimate and visualize those determinants and their interactions with subjects' covariates. Interpretation and visualization of graduates' profiles are shown on the basis of a survey conducted in Italy; more specifically, the determinants of both satisfaction and uncertainty of the respondents are explicitly discussed.
