Testing the Longitudinal Impact of Work Variables and Performance Appraisal Satisfaction on Subsequent Overall Job Satisfaction
基于医学技术人员的纵向数据，发现任务责任和绩效评估满意度显著影响后续整体工作满意度，且整体满意度在四年间显著下降。
Using a longitudinal sample of medical technologists (MTs) this study found, after controlling for prior overall job satisfaction, individual difference, and organization-level variables, that task responsibilities and employee performance appraisal satisfaction significantly affected subsequent overall MT job satisfaction. Overall job satisfaction significantly declined for repeat-respondents over the 4-year period. Data also suggested that the impact of task responsibilities on overall job satisfaction can dissipate over time, and that the supervisor's role in affecting employee job satisfaction is important. Results and limitations are discussed.
