Overall Job Satisfaction: Is It a Linear Function of Facet Satisfaction?
研究了整体工作满意度与各层面满意度之间的关系，发现线性组合可解释50%-60%的整体满意度，但单一层面工具不足以测量整体满意度。
This study investigates the relationship between overall job satisfaction and satisfaction with various job facets. Linear and nonlinear models for combining facets are examined. The results provide marginal support for an hypothesis that overall job satisfaction is a linear function of satisfaction with various job facets. Specifically, satisfaction with job facets explains 50%-60%o of overall job satisfaction based on a linear combination of facet satisfactions. The results also indicate that facetbased instruments used individually are not sufficient measures of overall job satisfaction. When facets from multiple facet-based instruments are combined, a marginally sufficient measure is obtained.
