Book excerpt: In this era of frequent corporate restructuring and rapid technological change, successful companies must have employees who are open to innovation and to changing roles, and are able to work together productively. Research shows that employees most likely to be adaptable, cooperative, and productive are those who are satisfied with their jobs. Therefore, it is essential that leaders of American business understand how to enhance job satisfaction within their organizations. In Job Satisfaction, top academic researchers in the field share state-of-the-art information on creating job satisfaction, its resulting benefits, and the risks of having too many employees who are dissatisfied with their jobs. As they show, job satisfaction is also an extremely useful predictor for management. An employee's level of job satisfaction is the single most important piece of data a manager or organizational psychologist can have to predict an employee's rate of absenteeism, decision to resign or retire, desire for union representation, or level of psychological withdrawal. Before they can enhance job satisfaction, managers must understand its components. Research demonstrates that an employee's level of satisfaction is based not only on events in the present and past, but also on his perceptions of the future. Foreseeing future opportunities for advancement, for increased pay, for participation in decision-making, or for networking lead to a high level of job satisfaction. In fact, the authors reveal, perceiving future opportunity can actually be more motivating than actually receiving a raise, getting promoted, or being given additional responsibilities. Job Satisfaction dispels the notion that jobstress necessarily leads to dissatisfaction, and shows how an organization should focus on increasing satisfaction rather than just reducing stress. It is especially important for managers to stimulate job satisfaction by improving their employees' sense of achievement through making tasks and their objectives clear, as well as giving feedback. Academics and managers alike will find Job Satisfaction a source of new and useful information for understanding and enhancing satisfaction on the job.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Unprecedented advances in the scientific study of personnel selection have given researchers and practitioners new ideas and tools to achieve greater success in measuring and linking skills, knowledge, and abilities to job performance requirements. Personnel Selection in Organizations is a timely presentation of emerging issues in research and practice, providing new and exciting perspectives on the theoretical, empirical, and societal changes that will affect the study and practice of virtually every personnel selection topic. The careful analysis of current procedures and practices, joined with an insightful identification of areas where ongoing research is needed, will be a valuable resource for all those interested in the continuing development of the field. In sixteen original chapters, leading experts highlight the personnel selection issues that will receive increasing attention in the years ahead. The authors thoughtfully explore key subjects in this rapidly changing field, including job analysis, criterion development, biographical and personality measures, the concept of validity, the changing demographics of the work population, the decline of the manufacturing economy, and the development of small organizations. They examine specific topics such as recruitment and retention, structured versus unstructured interviews, the ethics and effectiveness of computerized psychological testing, perceptions of selection fairness, productivity, turnover, and absenteeism. They also cover broader, less traditional concerns including downsizing and retirement, selection and staffing as a corporate strategy, promoting job and life satisfaction, organizational citizenship, and commitment.

Book excerpt: This research examined the relationship between job characteristics, stress, and need for achievement (n Ach) with each of three employee outcome variables: perceived job performance, job satisfaction, and job involvement. In addition, the unique contribution of each of the independent variables in predicting the three outcome variables was determined through linear regression analysis. Moderated regression was performed to determine the moderating effect of n Ach on each job characteristics/employee outcome relationship. data were obtained from 691 employees at a large DOD installation.

Download or read book Customized Job Enrichment and Its Effect on Job Performance written by Ira Feder and published by Universal-Publishers. This book was released on 1999-07 with total page 41 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A new type of highly customized job enrichment was studied for its impact on job performance, by comparing its impact on job performance to those resulting from classical job enrichment. The study was conducted on participants comprised of employees of a financial institution and a small section of a residential population. Participants (n=38) were Human Resources staff in the financial institution and of mixed professional occupations in the other group. The Job Diagnostic Survey was used to measure job enrichment, and performance ratings were used to measure job performance. Correlations between job enrichment and job performance were studied for those participants categorized in classically enriched jobs vs. those in jobs that had customized job enrichment. Certain limitations of this study did not allow for conclusive indications of job performance differences between the two groups. New concepts relating Growth Need Strength to job characteristics and increased job performance are also discussed. New categorizations of various types of Growth Need Strength are discussed as they relate to increased job performance.

Download or read book Job Enrichment: The Effects of Growth Needs and Social Needs on the Job Characteristics-Job Satisfaction and Job Characteristics-Perceived Performance Relationships written by Anthony C. Jones and published by . This book was released on 1977 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study examines the job characteristics-job satisfaction and job characteristics-perceived performance relationships using the job characteristics model developed by Hackman and Oldham (1976) as the theoretical base for analysis. Additionally, the study explores the possible moderating effects of individual growth needs and social needs on these relationships using both moderated regression and subgroup analysis. A full methodology is provided for using moderated regression, which is considered to be more appropriate in the analysis of moderator variables. The major conclusions of this study were that job characteristics were significant predictors of job satisfaction, and that neither individual growth needs nor individual social needs significantly or constantly moderate the job characteristics-job satisfaction/perceived performance relationships. Furthermore, it was found that social needs and growth needs were positively correlated, contrary to expectation. This last finding suggests that social and growth needs may be elements of a larger individual difference variable, need for personal worth, which is considered to be a more realistic indicator of individual differences.

Download or read book Flow at Work written by Clive Fullagar and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2017-03-16 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Flow can be defined as the experience of being fully engaged with the task at hand, unburdened by outside concerns or worries. Flow is an enjoyable state of effortless attention, complete absorption, and focussed energy. The pivotal role of flow in fostering good performance and high productivity led psychologists to study the features and outcomes of this experience in the workplace, in order to ascertain the impact of flow on individual and organizational well-being, and to identify strategies to increase the workers’ opportunities for flow in job tasks. This ground-breaking new collection is the first book to provide a comprehensive understanding of flow in the workplace that includes a contribution from the founding father of flow research, Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi. On a conceptual level, this book clarifies the features and structure of flow experience; and provides research-based evidence of how flow can be measured in the workplace on an empirical level, as well as exploring how it impacts on motivation, productivity, and well-being. By virtue of its rigorous but also practical approach, the book represents a useful tool for both scientists and practitioners. The collection addresses a number of key issues, including: Core components of how the idea of flow differs from experience in the work context Organizational and task-related conditions fostering flow at work How flow can be measured in the workplace The organizational and personal implications of flow The relationship between task features and flow opportunities at work Featuring contributions from some of the most active researchers in the field, Flow at Work: Measurement and Implications is an important book in an emerging field of study. The concept of flow has enormous implications for organizations as well as the individual, and this volume will be of interest to all students and researchers in organizational/occupational psychology and positive psychology, as well as practitioners and consultants with an interest in employee motivation and well-being.
