Job Satisfaction--Antecedents and Associations Report to the U.S. Department of Education, 1982 Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: U.S. Department of Education Keyword(s): Family Influences; High School Completion/Graduates; High School Curriculum; Socioeconomic Status (SES); Vocational Education This study used data from the NLSY, integrated with the high school transcripts of a substantial proportion of those youth who had already graduated from high school, to consider the nature and the associations of job satisfaction for those who were employed. A factor analysis of those survey items that were intended to tap job satisfaction, together with other items having construct potential, identified four forms of job satisfaction: (1) personal on-the-job development; (2) working conditions; (3) job rewards; and (4) human interactions. These were related to vocational education, job characteristics, race and sex, hourly rate of pay, occupation, and motivation. Vocational education was found to be positively related to working conditions and, indirectly, to personal on-the-job development and job rewards. The largest factor in job satisfaction was occupation, which was usually, although not always, positive. |
