Job Satisfaction In Relation To General Satisfaction And Personality, Elias E. Mina
Job Satisfaction In Relation To General Satisfaction And Personality, Elias E. Mina
Theses and Dissertations (Comprehensive)
The purpose of this study was to investigate the idea that the personal characteristics of the worker and his general attitude toward his environment influence his attitude about his job. 101 public school teachers were administered five questionnaires to measure: overall job satisfaction with a job, degree of intrinsic job satisfaction, general satisfaction, neuroticism, and 18 personality variables. Results suggested that job satisfaction had a positive relation to general satisfaction and a negative relation to maladjustment. Overall job satisfaction and intrinsic job satisfaction were not related to each other and each related to a different set of personality dimensions.
