| Abstract: | The purpose of this study is to empirically evaluate the ability of various models of work satisfaction to predict overall work satisfaction. Five models of work satisfaction are considered. They are the interactive, discrepancy, weighted discrepancy, additive independent, and perceived reward models. Data from 1385 workers suggest that the perceived reward model is the most appropriate procedure for predicting overall work satisfaction. Moreover, the data indicate that the relative effects of the various work dimensions on overall work satisfaction differ depending on which model is employed. These inconsistent results would appear to be due to specification error. Finally, it is suggested that the present findings should be viewed with caution. Additional research is necessary to conclusively establish their validity. |
