Based on a survey design of 775 migrant labourers of two generational cohorts randomly selected from two toy factories, the results indicate that the younger participants' instrumental work values were negatively associated with job satisfaction. Moreover, of the younger participants, all aspects of perceived job rewards were positively associated with both job and life satisfaction. The results challenge the public perception that the acquisition of monetary reward is a prime source of positive life outcomes among the new cohort of migrant labourers. On the contrary, the young migrants who work in a metropolis in South China are conscious of the significance of all the extrinsic, intrinsic and social job rewards for their well-being. There is thus a need for social workers to generate multidimensional service strategies in response to their concerns. Besides providing training programmes and continuing education, practitioners can engage in social support interventions, cultivate a collaborative relationship with corporations and put pressure on the government to initiate policy changes. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: research tables/charts Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
