Job satisfaction: a meta‐analysis of stabilities
这篇元分析回顾了工作满意度受个体倾向影响的证据，分析了以往研究中的稳定性系数，发现倾向通过选择和自我选择过程间接影响工作满意度，对组织评估有启示。
Abstract Evidence suggesting that job satisfaction is caused by individual dispositions is reviewed, and stability coefficients for job satisfaction in previous studies are analysed with a meta‐analytic procedure. Previous longitudinal studies analysing job changer samples imply an upper limit estimate of 0.51 for direct dispositional influences on job satisfaction. A study of job changers considering the stability of working conditions suggests that this estimate has to be considerably corrected downwards. At present, it is concluded that it is more likely that dispositions indirectly affect job satisfaction via selection and self‐selection processes. Implications for job satisfaction as a tool for organizational assessment are discussed. Copyright © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
