In some cases, it may be that this mismatch plays a role in allowing workers to compensate for the lack of some other skills, to escape from unemployment, or to achieve job stability in the labour market. Consequently, workers may feel no less satisfied, at least in some aspects, than adequately-matched workers. The aim of this paper is to analyse the relationship between over-qualification and the various dimensions of job satisfaction in Spain, a country characterised by a strongly-segmented labour market with high unemployment levels, and a significant number of mismatched employees. Using micro data for a representative sample of Spanish workers, we carry out simultaneous maximum likelihood estimations on a two-equation system to control for potential endogeneity. The results obtained provide evidence that does not reject the hypothesis that mismatched workers do not necessarily feel less satisfied than adequately-matched workers in the dimensions of job satisfaction related to extrinsic domains or social relations. 000147751 536__ $$9info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/DGA/S32-17R$$9info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/UZ/UZ2018-SOC-01 000147751 540__ $$9info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess$$aAll rights reserved$$uhttp://www.europeana.eu/rights/rr-f/ 000147751 590__ $$a2.614$$b2020 000147751 591__ $$aSOCIOLOGY$$b50 / 149 = 0.336$$c2020$$dQ2$$eT2 000147751 591__ $$aSOCIAL SCIENCES, INTERDISCIPLINARY$$b33 / 109 = 0.303$$c2020$$dQ2$$eT1 000147751 592__ $$a0.814$$b2020 000147751 593__ $$aArts and Humanities (miscellaneous)$$c2020$$dQ1 000147751 593__ $$aSociology and Political Science$$c2020$$dQ1 000147751 593__ $$aSocial Sciences (miscellaneous)$$c2020$$dQ1 000147751 593__ $$aDevelopmental and Educational Psychology$$c2020$$dQ1 000147751 655_4 $$ainfo:eu-repo/semantics/article$$vinfo:eu-repo/semantics/acceptedVersion 000147751 700__ $$0(orcid)0000-0003-2893-4051$$aMontuenga-Gómez, Víctor M.$$uUniversidad de Zaragoza 000147751 7102_ $$14000$$2415$$aUniversidad de Zaragoza$$bDpto.
