Abstract

The correlational literature concerning the relationships between individual job satisfaction and individual performance was analyzed, using the meta-analysis techniques of Hunter, Schmidt, and Jackson (1982). Higher and more consistent correlations between overall job satisfaction and performance were indicated than those previously reported. Relationships between JDI measures of job satisfaction and performance were not as high or as consistent as those found between overall job satisfaction and performance.

What is the strongest predictor of overall job satisfaction?

Research has suggested that the work-content factor, which includes variety, difficulty level, and role clarity of the job, is the most strongly predictive factor of overall job satisfaction (Saari & Judge, 2004).

Which facet of work has the highest correlation with overall job satisfaction?

A study done by Ellickson and Logsdon (2001, 180) revealed that of the 14 facets studied, departmental pride (the work group) was the strongest variable in determining overall job satisfaction.

What are the five facets that impact overall job satisfaction?

The Job Descriptive Index (JDI) is a survey instrument that measures five facets of job satisfaction: pay, promotion, supervision, the work itself, and co-workers. Overall job satisfaction cannot be computed by simply totaling the scores of the facet dimensions because they are independent dimensions.

Which job satisfaction facet is the best predictor of absence from work?
