Abstract

A model of repeated dynamic games with incomplete information was established to study the best decisions of rural migrant workers and business owners. Then, based on 1446 survey samples in Shanghai, the paper employs the emprise analysis to find out thatworking and living environment, personality characteristics,work types, salary and welfare, management system and spiritual life have significant effects on job satisfaction of rural migrant workers in China, and salary and welfare, personality characteristics and spiritual life are core factors. The study also indicates that, at present, factors of job satisfaction of migrant workers in towns are not only material factors such as wages, but also spiritual factors such as urban adaptability. In comparison, the material factor is more significant than the spiritual factor. At the same time, migrant workers still have not certain adaptability for the modern enterprise management system, and they do not pay enough attention to labor protection, labor contract and work welfare. The research is important for enterprises to improve the management of rural migrant worker and reveal the causes of the "Labor Shortage".
