On using direct measures of met expectations: A methodological note
通过回归分析研究新员工入职前的期望与入职后的经历对直接测量期望符合度的影响，发现入职后的经历影响更大，且控制入职后经历后，期望符合度对工作满意度和离职意向的解释力大幅下降。
We used multiple regression analysis to examine the joint and separate effects of pre-entry expectations and post-entry experiences on direct measures of met expectations for 259 organizational newcomers during the first year of employment. Results suggested that concerns about the use of direct measures of met expectations are warranted. Post-entry experiences had considerably more influence than pre-entry expectations on the way that individuals respond to met expectations measures. Furthermore, the amount of variance in measures of job satisfaction and turnover intentions accounted for by direct measures of met expectations was reduced considerably when controlling for perceptions of post-entry experiences.
