The Relationship between Perceived Job Characteristics and Job Satisfaction among Occupational Status Groups

Abstract

This study analyzes the relationship between perceived job characteristics and job satisfaction among a national probability sample of 1,533 workers in five occupational-status groups. Multiple regression analyses determine the relative importance of several perceived job characteristics in relation to job satisfaction among workers in different occupational groups. Self-expression, role strain, and financial rewards-promotion are related to job satisfaction in all occupational groups although their relative importance varies among groups. The results indicate that both intrinsic and extrinsic job characteristics contribute to overall job satisfaction.
