Perceived Control by Employees: A Meta-Analysis of Studies Concerning Autonomy and Participation at Work
对工作自主和参与决策两类研究中员工感知控制与19个结果变量的关系进行元分析，发现高感知控制与高工作满意度、承诺、绩效等正相关，与身心症状、离职等负相关。
Perceived control by employees is a variable that has been heavily researched in two popular areas, job design (as autonomy) and participative decision-making. A meta-analysis was conducted of studies relating perceived control variables to 19 employee outcome variables. For all studies combined, it was found that high levels of perceived control was associated with high levels of job satisfaction (overall and individual facets), commitment, involvement, performance and motivation, and low levels of physical symptoms, emotional distress, role stress, absenteeism, intent to turnover, and turnover. A similar pattern was found for the autonomy and participation studies analyzed separately, with one exception. Participative decision-making was not associated with absenteeism in the single study available.
