This paper considers the effects of educational mismatches on two outcomes such as the job satisfaction and on the-job search in t Algeria. We use Algerian Labor Force Surveys for the years 2003, 2005, 2007, 2010 and 2016, we also estimate all our model on pooled data (2003-2016) to check the robustness of the results and to test the effect of time on educational mismatch and on the job search. We analyze men and women separately. We first examine the determinants of educational mismatch using multinomial probit model. Second, we analyze the determinants of skill mismatch. In the third and fourth part, we examine the effect of educational mismatch on job satisfaction and on the job, search using probit model. In all models, we introduced as control variables four blocks of variables: 1) socio-demographic characteristics, 2) human capital, 3) labor market characteristics and 4) household characteristic. For the models on job satisfaction and on the job search we add the variable educational mismatch. The salient findings are that the job satisfaction and, on the job search are strongly influenced by educational mismatch and some job characteristics for both men and women.
