| Abstract [eng] |
Due to a labor shortage, more migrants are employed in the Lithuanian labor market. One of the sectors most affected is logistics, where the demand for employees, especially drivers, is particularly high. The main goal of this study is to compare the perceptions of decent work and workplace exploitation between local and migrant employees in the logistics sector in Lithuania, identifying critical attributes influencing job satisfaction, wellbeing, and perceived fair treatment in working conditions. A quantitative research method was used to achieve this aim. Data was collected through a survey of 300 employees working in the logistics sector in Lithuania, with 18% of participants being migrants. The industry is male dominated, therefore 79.3% of participants were male. The data was analyzed using SPSS software. The main results showed that all employees identified salary and working hours as the primary factors influencing perceived exploitation. However, no statistically significant differences were found between local and migrant employees. |
