Perceived Job Design Constructs: Reliability and Validity.

Abstract

The reliability and validity of an instrument designed to measure five core job (task) attributes were examined for three different samples. Results indicate that the a priori distinctions among job attribute constructs are appropriate and that two attributes, task autonomy and skill variety, are consistently related to general job satisfaction. Implications for the use of job design instruments are discussed. (Author)
