Title Achievement and social relations values as conditions of the importance of work aspects and job satisfaction
Bibliographic information 1999, Vol.5, No.3, p.395-416. Illus. 46 ref.
Abstract 169 bank employees were investigated with the "Orientation to Work Values Inventory", and the "Work Description Inventory". The data show complex connections between values and the perceived importance of work on one hand, and job satisfaction on the other hand. It was found that the importance of the values of achievement and social relations influences the importance of aspects of work. Overall job satisfaction depends on the social relations value, while some specific aspects of satisfaction depends on this value or on interactions of both of the values. The hypothesis that overall job satisfaction can be predicted from satisfaction with most important aspects of work is not confirmed by the data.
