Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The aim of the current study was to investigate the influence of dispositions and work situations on job satisfaction, and the mediating role of perceptions of work situations on the relationship between dispositions and job satisfaction. Identifying the antecedents of job satisfaction is important both theoretically and practically, as job satisfaction is closely related to other organizational variables such as job performance, organizational citizenship behavior, absenteeism and turnover. Most of the extant studies on the antecedents of job satisfaction have focused on populations in economically developed countries. However, there are cultural and language differences between these countries and China, and it is unclear if findings in other countries can be generalized to the Chinese population. Furthermore, there are few comprehensive studies investigating a range of both situational and dispositional variables. The main contribution of the current study is to incorporate major dispositional and situational variables and investigate the mediating role of perceived work situations on the disposition and job satisfaction relationship in China.A cross-sectional research design was used in the study. The sample was taken from employees in industrial and commercial organizations in China's northeast. All the measures were well-established, widely used multi-item measures developed in English-speaking countries. Confirmatory factor analysis and Cronbach's alpha demonstrated that the measures were of good validity and reliability and could be used for Chinese populations.Regression analysis found that of the ten situational variables, seven had a statistically significant relationship with job satisfaction: distributive justice, supervisor support, role conflict, autonomy, routinization, role ambiguity, and promotional chances. Of the seven situational variables, distributive justice had the largest effect on job satisfaction, followed by supervisor support, role conflict, autonomy, routinization, role ambiguity, and promotional chances. Three situational variables were not significantly related to job satisfaction: work overload, co-worker support, and pay level. The relationship between job satisfaction and positive affectivity and conscientiousness were partially mediated by perception of work situations, while the relationships between job satisfaction and negative affectivity and neuroticism were completely mediated by perception of work situations. Of the dispositional variables, positive affectivity had the strongest total effect on job satisfaction, much of it mediated by perceived work situations.The findings of this research support the theory that job satisfaction has both a dispositional source and situational source. Disposition has an influence on job satisfaction both directly and indirectly through work situations. The research findings also suggest that most of the findings on the antecedents of job satisfaction reported in research undertaken in economically developed countries can be generalized to China. However, the finding of a non-significant relationship between work overload, co-worker support and job satisfaction could be country-specific. In a transitional country such as China, work overload may be linked to secure jobs, and as a result people may be not unhappy to work intensively for long hours. In terms of practical implications, the findings of this study provide managers in industrial and commercial enterprises with guidelines in establishing conditions for the creation and maintenance of high levels of employee's job satisfaction.

Book excerpt: Job satisfaction is a central concept in work and organizational psychology as it is associated with important individual as well as organizational outcomes. Work is the number one activity that occupies most of adults' waking time. Being satisfied with one's job, which is defined as a pleasurable or positive emotional state resulting from the appraisal of one's job or job experience, is related to important work-related and health-related outcomes (e.g., higher job performance, organizational commitment, organizational citizenship behavior, life satisfaction, lower absenteeism and lower counterproductive work behavior). This book discusses determinants of job satisfaction as well as workplace implications and the impact job satisfaction has on the psychological well-being of individuals.
Book Synopsis Aggressive Disposition as a Predictor of Job Satisfaction and Personality Correlates by : Jerry M. Warren
Download or read book Aggressive Disposition as a Predictor of Job Satisfaction and Personality Correlates written by Jerry M. Warren and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the years job satisfaction has been of high interest in Industrial/Organizational Psychology. Job satisfaction has been defined as the level of positive affect toward one's job or job situation. A recent approach to explaining development of job satisfaction is the dispositional approach (Jex 2002). The dispositional approach is based on internal dispositions and the idea is that employees, regardless of job or job situation, have a tendency to either be satisfied or dissatisfied (Jex 2002). The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between disposition for aggression, job satisfaction, and factors of the big five personality theory. Aggression will be looked at as measured by the Conditional Reasoning for Aggression Scale (James 2004) and Job Satisfaction as measured by (Brayfield and Rothe 1951). Personality will be measured as a broad bandwidth, public domain, personality inventory measuring the lower level factors of several five factor models (Goldberg 1999). The researcher proposes that the conditional reasoning scale will be predictive of job satisfaction, and high levels of emotional stability and extraversion as measured by the big five personality factors.

Book Synopsis Positive and Negative Affect as Moderators of the Job Satisfaction-Job Attitudes Relationship by :
Download or read book Positive and Negative Affect as Moderators of the Job Satisfaction-Job Attitudes Relationship written by and published by . This book was released on 1991 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: B.R. Staw, in an article in Administrative Sciences, Quarterly, called for a dispositional approach to the study of job attitudes, arguing that deposition or affect may supersede the influences of the situation in the formulation of job satisfaction. In assessing that position, the present experiment measured positive and negative affect, job satisfaction, and several perceptions of the work context among 76 workers at the Armstrong Laboratory, Aircrew Training Research Division, Williams Air Force Base, Arizona. Results of correlation and regression analyses show that positive and negative affect accounted for significant variance in neither job satisfaction nor the situation variables. These affects added little unique variance (over situation measure) to the prediction of job satisfaction. however, further analyses show that both positive and negative affect moderated the relationships between job satisfaction and some of the situation variables. The data provide limited support for Staw's assertion that situation-focused organization development interventions, designed to promote job satisfaction may be prone to failure because they do not account for dispositional differences among employees.

Book Synopsis Handbook of Social Cognition: Applications by : Robert S. Wyer
Download or read book Handbook of Social Cognition: Applications written by Robert S. Wyer and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 1994 with total page 534 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edition of the Handbook follows the first edition by 10 years. The earlier edition was a promissory note, presaging the directions in which the then-emerging field of social cognition was likely to move. The field was then in its infancy and the areas of research and theory that came to dominate the field during the next decade were only beginning to surface. The concepts and methods used had frequently been borrowed from cognitive psychology and had been applied to phenomena in a very limited number of areas. Nevertheless, social cognition promised to develop rapidly into an important area of psychological inquiry that would ultimately have an impact on not only several areas of psychology but other fields as well. The promises made by the earlier edition have generally been fulfilled. Since its publication, social cognition has become one of the most active areas of research in the entire field of psychology; its influence has extended to health and clinical psychology, and personality, as well as to political science, organizational behavior, and marketing and consumer behavior. The impact of social cognition theory and research within a very short period of time is incontrovertible. The present volumes provide a comprehensive and detailed review of the theoretical and empirical work that has been performed during these years, and of its implications for information processing in a wide variety of domains. The handbook is divided into two volumes. The first provides an overview of basic research and theory in social information processing, covering the automatic and controlled processing of information and its implications for how information is encoded and stored in memory, the mental representation of persons -- including oneself -- and events, the role of procedural knowledge in information processing, inference processes, and response processes. Special attention is given to the cognitive determinants and consequences of affect and emotion. The second book provides detailed discussions of the role of information processing in specific areas such as stereotyping; communication and persuasion; political judgment; close relationships; organizational, clinical and health psychology; and consumer behavior. The contributors are theorists and researchers who have themselves carried out important studies in the areas to which their chapters pertain. In combination, the contents of this two-volume set provide a sophisticated and in-depth treatment of both theory and research in this major area of psychological inquiry and the directions in which it is likely to proceed in the future.
Book Synopsis Perceptions of Organizational Support and Affectivity as Predictors of Job Satisfaction by :
Download or read book Perceptions of Organizational Support and Affectivity as Predictors of Job Satisfaction written by and published by . This book was released on 1994 with total page 14 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Staw, Bell, and Clausen (1986) have suggested that employees bring a positive or negative disposition to the work setting, process information about the job in a way that is consistent with that disposition, and then experience job satisfaction or dissatisfaction as a result. Although this is not a universally held viewpoint, given such endeavors as the FAA Job Satisfaction Survey and managerial efforts to improve overall job satisfaction, the issue of employee disposition is important. Agency attempts to alter the work situation for the purposes of increasing job satisfaction could have limited potential for success to the extent that job satisfaction is a function of disposition. The present study tested several hypotheses examining both the main and interactive effects on job satisfaction of variables assessing the person (disposition) and situation (organizational climate) across several organizations. Disposition in this study refers to employee descriptions of how they generally feel in response the PANAS Affectivity scale developed by Watson and Clark. The PANAS is comprised of 20 adjectives that describe both positive (PA) and negative (NA) affect. Data were accumulated by meta-analysis from 1,491 employees in 35 different organizational systems. This included survey data from employees at the FAA Aeronautical Center (N=1,029) in Oklahoma City, Air Traffic Control Specialist trainees from the FAA Academy Nonradar Screen Program (N= 397) in Oklahoma City, and teachers from a rural public school system (N=65) in Illinois. Employees in each of those groups were participants in larger surveys of job satisfaction and other attitudinal factors that influence job satisfaction.
