The issue of the quality of work-life has risen in popularity due to concerns about the
economic and social sustainability of European societies. Throughout the continent, global
competition, technological change and the intensification of work are common developments
which are seen to a ect the well-being of the workforce. Nevertheless, European countries
di er substantially in terms of job quality. According to earlier research, employees in Sweden
and Denmark (and to lesser extent in Finland) report a higher quality of work tasks than
elsewhere in Europe. The aim of this paper was to investigate, in a cross-national context using
multivariate techniques, whether job quality in Finland really is divergent from that of other
Nordic countries and rest of the Europe. Empirical analyses were based on the fourth wave of
the European Working Conditions Survey (EWCS) collected in 2005. In this study we used
data from the 25 Member States of the European Union and Norway (n=21,196 interviews).
Our results support earlier findings that Finland lags behind other Nordic countries in terms
of work discretion and the perceptions of being well paid. Instead, Finnish employees were
less worried about health issues. When comparing Finland to Scandinavia, we did not find
major di erences in the amount of highly skilled jobs, insecurity nor the quantity of jobs
requiring great e ort. We also examined the associations of the dimensions of job quality to
job satisfaction. The results indicated that the subjective aspects of job quality were more
important determinants of job satisfaction, and that there were only modest di erences in the
determinants of job satisfaction between country clusters.
