“…Job satisfaction is not only related to social inclusion (Curry, Wakefield, Price, & Mueller, ), but also to important employee outcomes, which, in turn, secure an organization's productive functioning (e.g., Ironson, Smith, Brannick, Gibson, & Paul, ). Among these outcomes are performance (e.g., Judge, Parker, Colbert, Heller, & Ilies, ; Judge, Thoresen, Bono, & Patton, ), absenteeism (Harrison & Martocchio, ; Scott & Taylor, ), organizational commitment (Tett & Meyer, ), organizational citizenship behavior (Organ & Ryan, ), and turnover (Tett & Meyer, ).…”

With this article we contribute to the inclusion of employees with disabilities in the workplace. Based on Stone and Colella's (1996) model of factors affecting the treatment of employees with disabilities in organizations, we concentrate on the investigation of job satisfaction as a focal affective response. Besides examining job satisfaction differences between employees with and without disabilities, we focus on perceived flexibility as an organizational boundary condition, arguing for its influence on the job satisfaction of employees with disabilities. We introduce perceived centralization and formalization, representing different indicators of flexibility, as moderators of the disability–job satisfaction relationship. Regression analysis using data from 110 small and medium‐sized companies with 4,141 employees reveals that employees with disabilities are less satisfied than their colleagues without disabilities in highly centralized environments. As predicted, a decentralized organizational context relates to higher job satisfaction levels for all employees, but especially for those having a disability. Contrary to our hypothesis, perceived formalization does not significantly influence the relationship between having a disability and job satisfaction. However, our results clearly indicate the need for companies and especially human resource departments to better adapt to the needs of people with disabilities by creating flexible working environments. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

“…This strong finding was limited by the authors themselves who speculate that this relation between satisfaction and behavioral intentions might be explained by common method variance (Dolnicar, Coltman, and Sharma 2015). However, other meta-analytic studies from various areas of social research, examining actual rather than intended behavior, could consistently show small to large (.15 ≤ |r| ≤ .61) relationships between satisfaction and the corresponding actual behavior (e.g., repeated purchases, turnover, or performance; Brown and Peterson 1993;Iaffaldano and Muchinsky 1985;Scott and Taylor 1985;Szymanski and Henard 2001). The mediumsized correlation between satisfaction and actual recommendation in our study is in line with this evidence.…”

When people choose they often prefer similarity, rather than complementarity. This paper argues that the evaluation of a holiday destination is no exception to this tendency. The study introduces tourist-destination personality similarity (TDPS) as a concept that is distinct from perceived overall fit (POF) between tourist and destination, and examines the effects of these two concepts of congruence on vacationers' satisfaction and recommendation behavior. Examining a sample of actual vacationers (N = 308) in a holiday resort, TDPS and POF emerged as two related, but distinct concepts: TDPS was a driver of POF, which in turn increased tourists' satisfaction and actual recommendations of the destination. Our results confirm TDPS as a valuable tool for tourism brand managers and tourism research.

“…Whitaker (2010), for instance, identified the most effective non-financial employee awards for motivating employees, which include team events, additional holiday, subsidized meals or services, and reduced working hours. Scott and Taylor (1985) uncovered a negative relationship between lower JS and absenteeism. Siu and Cooper (1998) conducted research suggesting locus of control and organizational commitment exerted strong direct effects and moderating effects on JS.…”

This paper examines the association among consumer well-being, job satisfaction, and life satisfaction for college professors. The joint relationship among this particular assortment of variables has not been reported upon in the literature to date, and is subjected to examination here. Various theoretical and practical constructs are set forth, and several hypotheses are advanced. The hypotheses are tested through an assessment of data emanating from a survey of college professors at a South Western university. Various implications of the findings are outlined.
