"The purpose of this quantitative study is to determine if a predictive model can be created to identify job satisfaction among Missouri secondary assistant principals using the Minnesota Satisfaction Questionnaire (MSQ). A one-shot, non-experimental survey (Creswell, 2009) was created using Google forms and distributed to secondary assistant principals using the MSQ short form questionnaire. The MSQ identifies 20 categories related to job satisfaction and scores the respondent based on his/her answers. The MSQ and summary statistics will be used to identify which factors have the highest impact on assistant principal job satisfaction. Summary statistics will include assistant principal job satisfaction, years in assistant principal position, years teaching, size of building, salary, age, gender, education level, MSIP5 percent of points earned, and responsibilities. These ten data points will be analyzed in conjunction with the 20 MSQ categories using the Statistical Packages for the Social Sciences V22.0 (SPSS). A backward stepwise regression analysis will be utilized in order to predict assistant principal job satisfaction."--Page 6-7

Human Services Agencies

Questionnaires were completed by 91 respondents employed by two human services agencies: 63 employees of a stable (no layoffs in eight years) organization, and 28 employees of a nonstable organization (which had experienced recent layoffs, and in which many employees were supported by grant funding which varied from year to year). The questionnaire included respondents' perceptions of job security and satisfaction with pay (measured with subscales of the Minnesota Satisfaction Questionnaire), over-all job satisfaction (measured with the Porter Need Satisfaction Questionnaire), and additional measures of intention to turnover, absenteeism, productivity, etc. A 2 (agency) × 2 (high/low security) multivariate analysis of variance indicated that ratings of job insecurity were significantly related to job dissatisfaction in the agency perceived as nonstable but not in the agency perceived as stable. In both agencies, ratings of turnover intentions and pessimism about the future of the agency were higher among employees who reported feelings of insecurity. There were no differences in perceived absenteeism or productivity between employees of the two agencies.

There were no significant differences between the biographical variables and the three leadership styles.

The notion of portability of constructs measured by psychometric instruments is introduced. Psychometric investigations by means of Principal Components Analyses, Item Analyses and calculation of Cronbach Alpha on the items of two generally used instruments are described. The results indicate that the constructs measured by the Kanungo Job Involvement Questionnaire and the Minnesota Satisfaction Questionnaire as well as the instruments themselves seem to be robust as far as portability between the Unites States of America and South Africa is concerned.
