ATTITUDES AND JOB
SATISFACTION
Chapter 3
ATTITUDES
• Attitudes are evaluative statements—either favorable or
unfavorable—about objects, people, or events. They reflect how
we feel about something. When I say “I like my job,” I am
expressing my attitude about work.
ATTITUDES
Components
• Cognition. The opinion or belief segment of an attitude.
• Affect. The emotional or feeling segment of an attitude.
• Behavior. An intention to behave in a certain way toward
someone or something.
• Components are closely related, and cognition and affect in
particular are inseparable in many ways
ATTITUDES
Components

ATTITUDES
Behaviour and Attitude
• Early research on attitudes assumed they were causally related
to behavior— that is, the attitudes people hold determine what
they do
• Leon Festinger—argued that attitudes follow behavior
• Festinger proposed that cases of attitude following behavior
illustrate the effects of cognitive dissonance
• people do seek consistency among their attitudes and between
their attitudes and their behavior
• They either alter the attitudes or the behavior, or they develop a
rationalization for the discrepancy
ATTITUDES
Behaviour and Attitude
• Festinger proposed that the desire to reduce dissonance
depends on moderating factors, including the importance of the
elements creating it and the degree of influence we believe we
have over them
• A third factor is the rewards of dissonance; high rewards
accompanying high dissonance tend to reduce the tension
inherent in the dissonance
• More recent research shows that attitudes predict future
behavior and confirmed Festinger’s idea that “moderating
variables” can strengthen the link.

Major Job Attitudes
• Job Satisfaction describes a positive feeling about a job,
resulting from an evaluation of its characteristics
• Job Involvement Measures the degree to which people
identify psychologically with their job and consider their
perceived performance level important to self-worth
• Employees with a high level of job involvement strongly identify
with and really care about the kind of work they do.
• Psychological empowerment Employees’ beliefs in the
degree to which they influence their work environment, their
competence, the meaningfulness of their job, and their
perceived autonomy
ATTITUDES
Major Job Attitudes
• Organizational Commitment The degree to which an
employee identifies with a particular organization and its goals
and wishes to maintain membership in the organization.
• Most research has focused on emotional attachment to an
organization and belief in its values as the “gold standard” for
employee commitment.
• Relationship between commitment and performance is
strongest for new employees and considerably weaker for more
experienced employees
ATTITUDES
Major Job Attitudes
• Perceived Organizational Support Perceived organizational
support (POS) the degree to which employees believe the
organization values their contribution and cares about their well-
being
• Strong POS perceptions result in employees more likely to have
higher levels of organizational citizenship behaviors, lower
levels of tardiness, and better customer service
• employee engagement An individual’s involvement with,
satisfaction with, and enthusiasm for the work he or she does.
• Latest research has shown engagement is distinct from job
satisfaction and job involvement and incrementally predicts job
behaviors after we take these traditional job at- titudes into
account.
ATTITUDES
Major Job Attitudes- Relationship
• Evidence suggests these attitudes are highly related, perhaps
to a troubling degree.
• The correlation between perceived organizational sup- port and
affective commitment is very strong
ATTITUDES
Job Satisfaction- Measurement
• Two approaches are popular. The single global rating is a response
to one question, such as “All things considered, how satisfied are
you with your job?” Respondents circle a number between 1 and 5
on a scale from “highly satisfied” to “highly dissatisfied.”
• The second method, the summation of job facets, is more
sophisticated. It identifies key elements in a job such as the nature of
the work, supervision, present pay, promotion oppor- tunities, and
relationships with co-workers. Respondents rate these on a
standardized scale, and researchers add the ratings to create an
overall job satisfaction score.
• This is one of those rare instances in which simplicity seems to work
as well as complex- ity, making one method essentially as valid as
the other. The best explanation is that the concept of job satisfaction
is so broad a single question captures its essence
ATTITUDES
Job Dissatisfaction
ATTITUDES
Job Satisfaction- Measurement
ATTITUDES
Job Satisfaction- Measurement
• There isn’t much of a relationship there. Handsomely
compensated jobs have average satisfaction levels no higher
than those that pay much less.
• One re searcher even found no significant difference when he
compared the overall well-being of the richest people on the
Forbes 400 list with that of Maasai herd- ers in East Africa.
• What motivates us is not necessarily the same as what makes
us happy.
ATTITUDES
Job Satisfaction- Measurement
• Research has shown that people who have positive core self-
evaluations—who believe in their inner worth and basic
competence—are more satisfied with their jobs than those with
negative core self-evaluations.
• Not only do they see their work as more fulfilling and
challenging, they are
• More likely to gravitate toward challenging jobs in the first place.
• Those with negative core self-evaluations set less ambitious
goals and are more likely to give up when confronting
difficulties.
ATTITUDES
Responses to Job Dissatisfaction
Constructive Destructive
Active VOICE EXIT
Passive LOYALTY NEGLECT
ATTITUDES
Job Satisfaction- Measurement
• Core Self Evaluations. Bottom-line conclusions individuals have
about their capabilities, competence, and worth as a person.
EXPERIENTIAL EXERCISE
What Factors Are Most Important
to Your Job Satisfaction?
• Autonomy and independence.
• Benefits.
• Career advancement opportunities.
• Career development opportunities.
• Compensation/pay.
• Communication between employees and management.
• Contribution of work to organization’s business goals.
• Feeling safe in the work environment.
• Flexibility to balance life and work issues.
• Job security.
• Job-specific training.
Ethical Delima
Bounty Hunter
• If you had reason to believe someone was lying about an absence from
work, do you think it would be appropriate to investigate?
• If excessive absenteeism is a real problem in an organization, are there
alternatives to surveillance? If so, what are they, and do they have any
limitations of their own?
• Do you think only certain individuals are attracted to these types of jobs, or
is it the characteristics of the jobs themselves that are satisfying?
• What characteristics of these jobs might contribute to increased levels of
job satisfaction?
• Given that the four individuals we just read about tend to be satisfied with
their jobs, how might this sat- isfaction relate to their job performance,
citizenship behavior, and turnover?
• Recall David Clark’s statement that “There are plenty of people who would
love to have this job. They’re knocking on the door all the time.” How might
Clark’s perceptions that he has a job many others desire contribute to his
job satisfaction?
CASE INCIDENT 1
Long Hours, Hundreds of E-Mails, and No Sleep: Does This
Sound Like a Satisfying Job
CASE INCIDENT 2
Crafting a Better Job
• Do you think only certain individuals are attracted to these types of jobs, or
is it the characteristics of the jobs themselves that are satisfying?
• What characteristics of these jobs might contribute to increased levels of
job satisfaction?
• Given that the four individuals we just read about tend to be satisfied with
their jobs, how might this sat- isfaction relate to their job performance,
citizenship behavior, and turnover?
• Recall David Clark’s statement that “There are plenty of people who would
love to have this job. They’re knocking on the door all the time.” How might
Clark’s perceptions that he has a job many others desire contribute to his
job satisfaction?
CASE INCIDENT 2
Crafting a Better Job
• Why do you think many people are in jobs that are not satisfying? Do
organizations help people craft sat- isfying and motivating jobs, and if not,
why not?
• Think about how you might reorient yourself to your own job. Are the
principles of job crafting described above relevant to your work? Why or
why not?
• Some contend that job crafting sounds good in principle but is not
necessarily available to everyone. What types of jobs are probably not
amenable to job crafting activities?
• Are there any potential drawbacks to the job crafting approach? How can
these concerns be minimized?

  • 1. Stephen P. Robbins —San Diego State University Timothy A. Judge —University of Notre Dame 15Th Edition ATTITUDES AND JOB SATISFACTION Chapter 3
  • 2. ATTITUDES • Attitudes are evaluative statements—either favorable or unfavorable—about objects, people, or events. They reflect how we feel about something. When I say “I like my job,” I am expressing my attitude about work.
  • 3. ATTITUDES Components • Cognition. The opinion or belief segment of an attitude. • Affect. The emotional or feeling segment of an attitude. • Behavior. An intention to behave in a certain way toward someone or something. • Components are closely related, and cognition and affect in particular are inseparable in many ways
  • 5. ATTITUDES Behaviour and Attitude • Early research on attitudes assumed they were causally related to behavior— that is, the attitudes people hold determine what they do • Leon Festinger—argued that attitudes follow behavior • Festinger proposed that cases of attitude following behavior illustrate the effects of cognitive dissonance • people do seek consistency among their attitudes and between their attitudes and their behavior • They either alter the attitudes or the behavior, or they develop a rationalization for the discrepancy
  • 6. ATTITUDES Behaviour and Attitude • Festinger proposed that the desire to reduce dissonance depends on moderating factors, including the importance of the elements creating it and the degree of influence we believe we have over them • A third factor is the rewards of dissonance; high rewards accompanying high dissonance tend to reduce the tension inherent in the dissonance • More recent research shows that attitudes predict future behavior and confirmed Festinger’s idea that “moderating variables” can strengthen the link.

  • 8. ATTITUDES Major Job Attitudes • Job Satisfaction describes a positive feeling about a job, resulting from an evaluation of its characteristics • Job Involvement Measures the degree to which people identify psychologically with their job and consider their perceived performance level important to self-worth • Employees with a high level of job involvement strongly identify with and really care about the kind of work they do. • Psychological empowerment Employees’ beliefs in the degree to which they influence their work environment, their competence, the meaningfulness of their job, and their perceived autonomy
  • 9. ATTITUDES Major Job Attitudes • Organizational Commitment The degree to which an employee identifies with a particular organization and its goals and wishes to maintain membership in the organization. • Most research has focused on emotional attachment to an organization and belief in its values as the “gold standard” for employee commitment. • Relationship between commitment and performance is strongest for new employees and considerably weaker for more experienced employees
  • 10. ATTITUDES Major Job Attitudes • Perceived Organizational Support Perceived organizational support (POS) the degree to which employees believe the organization values their contribution and cares about their well- being • Strong POS perceptions result in employees more likely to have higher levels of organizational citizenship behaviors, lower levels of tardiness, and better customer service • employee engagement An individual’s involvement with, satisfaction with, and enthusiasm for the work he or she does. • Latest research has shown engagement is distinct from job satisfaction and job involvement and incrementally predicts job behaviors after we take these traditional job at- titudes into account.
  • 11. ATTITUDES Major Job Attitudes- Relationship • Evidence suggests these attitudes are highly related, perhaps to a troubling degree. • The correlation between perceived organizational sup- port and affective commitment is very strong
  • 12. ATTITUDES Job Satisfaction- Measurement • Two approaches are popular. The single global rating is a response to one question, such as “All things considered, how satisfied are you with your job?” Respondents circle a number between 1 and 5 on a scale from “highly satisfied” to “highly dissatisfied.” • The second method, the summation of job facets, is more sophisticated. It identifies key elements in a job such as the nature of the work, supervision, present pay, promotion oppor- tunities, and relationships with co-workers. Respondents rate these on a standardized scale, and researchers add the ratings to create an overall job satisfaction score. • This is one of those rare instances in which simplicity seems to work as well as complex- ity, making one method essentially as valid as the other. The best explanation is that the concept of job satisfaction is so broad a single question captures its essence
  • 15. ATTITUDES Job Satisfaction- Measurement • There isn’t much of a relationship there. Handsomely compensated jobs have average satisfaction levels no higher than those that pay much less. • One re searcher even found no significant difference when he compared the overall well-being of the richest people on the Forbes 400 list with that of Maasai herd- ers in East Africa. • What motivates us is not necessarily the same as what makes us happy.
  • 16. ATTITUDES Job Satisfaction- Measurement • Research has shown that people who have positive core self- evaluations—who believe in their inner worth and basic competence—are more satisfied with their jobs than those with negative core self-evaluations. • Not only do they see their work as more fulfilling and challenging, they are • More likely to gravitate toward challenging jobs in the first place. • Those with negative core self-evaluations set less ambitious goals and are more likely to give up when confronting difficulties.
  • 17. ATTITUDES Responses to Job Dissatisfaction Constructive Destructive Active VOICE EXIT Passive LOYALTY NEGLECT
  • 18. ATTITUDES Job Satisfaction- Measurement • Core Self Evaluations. Bottom-line conclusions individuals have about their capabilities, competence, and worth as a person.
  • 19. EXPERIENTIAL EXERCISE What Factors Are Most Important to Your Job Satisfaction? • Autonomy and independence. • Benefits. • Career advancement opportunities. • Career development opportunities. • Compensation/pay. • Communication between employees and management. • Contribution of work to organization’s business goals. • Feeling safe in the work environment. • Flexibility to balance life and work issues. • Job security. • Job-specific training.
  • 20. Ethical Delima Bounty Hunter • If you had reason to believe someone was lying about an absence from work, do you think it would be appropriate to investigate? • If excessive absenteeism is a real problem in an organization, are there alternatives to surveillance? If so, what are they, and do they have any limitations of their own?
  • 21. • Do you think only certain individuals are attracted to these types of jobs, or is it the characteristics of the jobs themselves that are satisfying? • What characteristics of these jobs might contribute to increased levels of job satisfaction? • Given that the four individuals we just read about tend to be satisfied with their jobs, how might this sat- isfaction relate to their job performance, citizenship behavior, and turnover? • Recall David Clark’s statement that “There are plenty of people who would love to have this job. They’re knocking on the door all the time.” How might Clark’s perceptions that he has a job many others desire contribute to his job satisfaction?

  • 22. CASE INCIDENT 2 Crafting a Better Job • Do you think only certain individuals are attracted to these types of jobs, or is it the characteristics of the jobs themselves that are satisfying? • What characteristics of these jobs might contribute to increased levels of job satisfaction? • Given that the four individuals we just read about tend to be satisfied with their jobs, how might this sat- isfaction relate to their job performance, citizenship behavior, and turnover? • Recall David Clark’s statement that “There are plenty of people who would love to have this job.

  • 23. CASE INCIDENT 2 Crafting a Better Job • Why do you think many people are in jobs that are not satisfying? Do organizations help people craft sat- isfying and motivating jobs, and if not, why not? • Think about how you might reorient yourself to your own job. Are the principles of job crafting described above relevant to your work? Why or why not? • Some contend that job crafting sounds good in principle but is not necessarily available to everyone. What types of jobs are probably not amenable to job crafting activities? • Are there any potential drawbacks to the job crafting approach? How can these concerns be minimized?
