This study clarifies job satisfaction characteristics by industry, age, and gender based on a survey of employees of Japanese specialty trade contractors (construction; n=500). In addition, we classified into five groups based on the characteristics of the response tendency by cluster analysis and examined the characteristics of each group and improvement measures. Finally, a structural model of the formative factors of work engagement is presented by SEM. From these results, it became clear that rewarding plays an important role in work engagement, and that measures should be taken especially for those in their 40s to 60s, in which rewarding is significantly low.
