Interpersonal Relationships on and outside of the Job and Satisfaction with Working Conditions in Europe
Nunzia Nappo

Abstract
The aim of this paper is to analyse, using a standard probit model, the correlates of satisfaction with working conditions in Europe. The main assumption of the paper is that employees’ satisfaction with working conditions depends not only on standard variables that explain satisfaction but also on employees’ interpersonal relationships on and outside of the job.
