Job Characteristics Variables, The Relationship of Job Variables to Job Satisfaction, Organizational Climate, and Perceived Productivity.
Abstract
The objective of this study was to determine the number of orthogonal factors contained within the Comprehensive Job Inventory, and to determine the effect that these factors have on Job Satisfaction, Organizational Climate, and Perceived Productivity. The survey instrument, and the organizational Assessment Package--were administered to 332 subjects at Bolling Air Force Base. Factor analysis to determine underlying factors measured by the instrument, was conducted across all responses. Fourteen factors relating to job characteristics were identified. Individual factor scores were calculated for Job Satisfaction, Organizational Climate, and Perceived Productivity, as well as the fourteen orthogonal factors in the Comprehensive Job Inventory. Regression analysis was performed using the factor scores from the fourteen orthogonal factors in the Comprehensive Job Inventory as the independent variable, and the factor scores for Job Satisfaction, Organizational Climate, and Perceived Productivity each in turn as the dependent variable. Results indicated that a significant amount of the variance in Job Satisfaction, Organizational Climate, and Perceived Productivity can be attributed to the factors in the Comprehensive Job Inventory.
