Norms for the Job Diagnostic Survey

Abstract

This report provides normative data for the Job Diagnostic Survey (JDS). Data were obtained from 6930 employees working on 876 jobs in 56 organizations. JDS reliabilities, means, and standard deviations are reported for several categories of employees, job and organizational properties. Results indicate that some JDS means and standard deviations differ from those reported by Hackman and Oldham (1974). Moreover, results show that the JDS measures vary significantly with many of the aforementioned properties. Uses of the norms and directions for future research are discussed.
