Correlates of job satisfaction and job dissatisfaction among female clerical workers

Abstract

Correlated degree of overall satisfaction, overall dissatisfaction, and overall satisfaction/dissatisfaction with measures of satisfaction/dissatisfaction with several aspects of the work situation for 160 female clerical workers. Tabulations were made of responses to open-ended questions concerning reasons for positive and negative feelings about the company. The results of these analyses offer no support for the 2-factor theory of job satisfaction, but are consistent with the traditional framework in which any variable can be both a "satisfier" and a "dissatisfier."
