The most important of these changes is that mobile internet can bring more Guanxi to people that love social network. This study first investigates determinants of job satisfaction and then examines if mobile internet is connected with better job satisfaction.

Regress result shows that mobile internet can improve job satisfaction within a certain value range. Particularly, to the female of new generation in migrant workers this impact is greater. The results of this paper thus urge people to care for new factors of job satisfaction in migrant workers.
