Job satisfaction study of two small unorganized plants

Abstract

"The purpose of this study was to test the validity of the tear ballot on the premise that the higher the job satisfaction scores, the lower will be the job-related interpersonal communicative contacts between labor and management members. The number of job-problem sessions for a period of one year was thus utilized as the validation criterion based upon the hypothesis that the job-satisfied and happy worker has less job-related interview sessions than does the job-dissatisfied or unhappy worker; i.e., the frequence of such sessions should be inversely related with job satisfaction. Combining the data from both plants, [N's were 22 and 14] a Pearsonian coefficient of correlation of—.76 was found between job satisfaction scores and the number of job-related interview sessions."
