Suggests that cognitive variables, and intelligence in particular, may be important determinants of job satisfaction. The relationship between intelligence and job satisfaction was analyzed on the basis of a model in which intelligence has a direct negative effect on job satisfaction, an indirect positive effect, mediated by job complexity, and an interactive effect with job complexity. The roles of background variables, in particular education, and the implications of the findings for theories of job satisfaction were also examined. Data was drawn from reports by 5,423 participants in the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth. Results show that intelligence was associated positively with job satisfaction. However, intelligence also is associated negatively with satisfaction when job complexity is held constant. This negative direct effect of intelligence on job satisfaction is mediated by job complexity: the effect decreases with an increase in job complexity. ((c) 1999 APA/PsycINFO, all rights reserved) |
