How Important are Job Attitudes? Meta-Analytic Comparisons of Integrative Behavioral Outcomes and Time Sequences

Abstract: Drawing on the compatibility principle in attitude theory, we propose that overall job attitude (job satisfaction and organizational commitment) provides increasingly powerful prediction of more integrative behavioral criteria (focal performance, contextual performance, lateness, absence, and turnover combined). The principle was sustained by a combination of meta-analysis and structural equations showing better fit of unified versus diversified models of meta-analytic correlations between those criteria.

“…Overall job satisfaction is often interpreted as a single-item measure of the subjective utility of a job. It is the most widely used measure in occupational psychology and has well established associations with behavioural outcomes including performance ratings, absence, lateness and quit (Judge et al 2001;Harrison et al 2006). Four further measures obtain ratings of satisfaction with facets of jobs: job security, the work itself, hours, and pay.…”

“…20 Recent work from Harrison, Newman and Rothsupports this perspective, arguing that variables such as job satisfaction and organizational culture overlap a good deal and could be collectively considered when examining employee attitudes and behaviour. 21 Most of the faculty seemed to be satisfied with their work environment as well as with the health facilities and social security scheme offered by the organisation (Table 3). They were not happy about the loan facilities offered by the organisation.…”

“…No relation was identified between absenteeism and job satisfaction (Harrison eta!., 2006), organizational commitment (Harrison et al, 2006), motivational work characteristics, social characteristics (social support), or work context characteristics in the work environment (Humphrey eta!., 2007). These results suggest that absenteeism perhaps should be viewed not as absence per se, but rather as a process in which workers are drawn away from the workplace by valued features of their nonwork environment (Fritzsche & Parrish, 2005).…”

“…The first antecedent identified was job satisfaction. One meta-analyses (N = 39,187 k = 112) by Harrison, Newman, and Roth (2006) showed organizational commitment to be strongly related to job satisfaction ( p = .60). A second antecedent, perceived organizational support (support in the organizational environment), also was strongly related to organizational commitment ( p = .67), as shown by Rhoades and Eisenberger (2002) in their metaanalysis (k = 73, N = 13,719).…”
