Good work quality is crucial for employee well-being and health. Indicators of work quality are, among others, aspects of one’s work organisation and learning opportunities. Based on the Job-Demand-Control model we investigate if a) young employees are confronted with different combinations of job characteristics, b) cluster membership is predicted by socio-demographic and educational factors as well as positive self-evaluations and health, and c) cluster membership leads to different associations with job-related and general well-being. Based on TREE data we found three clusters of job characteristics, i.e. high resources – low demands, medium resources – medium demands, and low resources – high demands. The likelihood to be in a more favourable group was higher for females, young employees and employees who reported more positive self-evaluations and higher learning efforts after compulsory school. Young employees in more favourable groups also reported higher levels of job-related and general well-being
