Two Measures

A field study of job satisfaction in university employees was conducted to test Fishbein's (1967) theory of attitudes under natural conditions. It was hypothesized that job satisfaction would be predicted by beliefs about the job. 507 secretaries and nurses responded to a questionnaire containing 5-point, Likert-type belief items and two measures of job satisfaction, the FACES Scale and the Job Descriptive Index. As predicted, the sum of beliefs about the job was significantly related to both measures. Also as predicted, results showed that beliefs about democratic supervision were more strongly related to job satisfaction than beliefs about autocratic supervision. Implications of Fishbein's theory for improving job satisfaction were discussed.

We study the effect of disclosing information on peers' salaries on workers' job satisfaction and job search intentions. A randomly chosen subset of University of California employees was informed about a new website listing the pay of University employees. All employees were then surveyed about their job satisfaction and job search intentions. Workers with salaries below the median for their pay unit and occupation report lower pay and job satisfaction and a significant increase in the likelihood of looking for a new job. Above-median earners are unaffected. Differences in pay rank matter more than differences in pay levels. (JEL I23, J28, J31, J64)
