EFFECTS OF HIGHER ORDER NEED STRENGTH ON THE JOB PERFORMANCE–JOB SATISFACTION RELATIONSHIP
研究员工高阶需求强度如何调节工作绩效与工作满意度的关系，发现高阶需求强的员工绩效与内外在满意度正相关，对管理者激励员工和设计任务有参考价值。
This study examines the moderating effects of employee higher order need strength (HONS) on the relationship between job performance and job satisfaction. Data were collected from a sample of 123 non‐supervisory employees in a large retail‐drug organization in the Midwest. Moderated regression and subgroup analyses were performed on the data, and the results provide support for the moderating role of HONS. Specifically, job performance is positively related to intrinsic as well as extrinsic sources of job satisfaction for strong HONS individuals while no such relation is found for individuals with weak HONS. Implications for work motivation and task design are discussed.
