Longitudinal Effects of Job Change Upon Interest Utilization and Satisfaction Attitudes.

Abstract

This research was designed to identify and assess the effects of a job's context and naturally occurring job content changes upon the job attitudes of 709 Air Force radio operators (career field 293X3). This investigation consisted of two phases. The first phase concentrated upon identifying specific job types within the radio operator career field at two points in time, and determining the flow of personnel from one job type to another over a 17-month period. Eight specific job types along with associated task and job changes are discussed. In the second phase, a series of multiple linear regression analyses were employed in the prediction of job attitude criteria consisting of perceived job interest, felt utilization of talents and training, and overall satisfaction.
