A REEXAMINATION OF ABILITY AS A MODERATOR OF ROLE PERCEPTIONS—SATISFACTION RELATIONSHIP
研究了员工能力对角色冲突和角色模糊与内在满意度关系的调节作用，发现教育水平和感知能力-工作匹配的调节效应支持能力-适应性现象，而工作经验的调节效应与预期相反。
This research examines the moderating effects of employee ability on the relationship of role conflict and ambiguity to intrinsic satisfaction. Data were collected from a sample of 89 middle‐lower managerial personnel from a large, heavy‐equipment manufacturing company in the Midwest. Moderated multiple regression was used in data analysis. Results obtained from the education and perceived ability‐job fit measures of employee ability are consistent with the ability‐adaptability phenomenon suggested and tested by Schuler (1977). Results obtained from the work experience measure of ability were contrary to prediction. Implications of the findings for work adjustment theory, stress management, and future research are discussed.
