Staffing sufficiency and job enrichment: Support for an optimal level theory
研究了83名主管的数据，发现人员配置充足性与工作丰富化之间存在曲线关系，适度缺员与工作反应呈最优相关，对理解工作丰富化过程有潜在价值。
Abstract In a study of the relations of staffing sufficiency to a variety of job enrichment constructs, eighty‐three supervisors provided data on job‐related attitudes and the extent of workgroup staffing sufficiency. Trend analysis provided support for a proposed curvilinear relation between staffing sufficiency and certain job enrichment constructs. In addition, moderate support was also obtained for Greenberg's (1979) proposal that moderate understaffing is optimally related to reactions to one's job. The potential of this research area for the understanding of enrichment processes is proposed.
