While there have been an increasing number of studies on job-training, little attention has been paid to whether and how the various types of job training would affect job satisfaction. This study, using the 2001-2003 KLIPS data set, attempts to analyze the effect of different job training on the satisfaction with employment stability. In particular, the study focused whether such effect would differ by the types of occupation. Job training is categorized into two groups : the firm-job-training which is provided by the firm to enhance firm-specific skills and job-training-in general which is provided or supported by government or individuals to elevate skills useful for more general purposes. The logistic regression analysis reveals that these are the case. After controling various variables affecting employment stability satisfaction, the firm-job-training decreases the likelihood of the satisfaction. In the meanwhile, clerical/service workers are less likely than technicians to be satisfied with employment stability. Furthermore, the differentials by the types of job training is found to be greatest among the workers in technical occupation.
