The objectives of this study were to assess the construct equivalence of the Minnesota Job Satisfaction Questionnaire (MSQ), and to investigate the manifestation of job satisfaction at selected organisations in South Africa. A cross-sectional survey design with a random sample (N = 474) was used. The MSQ and a biographical questionnaire were administered. The results confi rmed a two-factor model of job satisfaction, consisting of extrinsic job satisfaction and intrinsic job satisfaction. Exploratory factor analysis with target rotations confi rmed the construct equivalence of scales for the black and white groups. The results obtained from comparing job satisfaction levels of various demographic groups showed that practically signifi cant differences existed between the job satisfaction of different age and race groups.

The purpose of the study was to examine the relationship between demographic factors and job satisfaction at Segen Construction Company (SCC), Eritrea, using Minnesota Satisfaction Questionnaire (MSQ on a five-point Likert scale). The survey was conducted in June 2017, and covered 68 employees of SCC at the headquarters in Asmara. Regression analyses on the influence of demographic factors on job satisfaction revealed that there was no significant relationship between gender and job satisfaction (r 2 =0.002; p=0.296); significant relationship between age and job satisfaction (r 2 =0.052; p=0.035); significant relationship between working experience and job satisfaction (r 2 =0.070; p=0.017); and no significant relationship between academic qualification and job satisfaction (r 2 =-0.008; p=0.506). On the extent of the influence of intrinsic and extrinsic factors on job satisfaction, the aggregate mean value of intrinsic determinants was 3.36, and that of extrinsic determinants was 3.28. Results of regression analyses yielded r 2 = 0.817; p=0.000 for intrinsic determinants, and r 2 = 0.809, p=0.000 for extrinsic determinants. Hence, the study concluded that at SCC, the intrinsic determinants had greater influence than extrinsic factors on job satisfaction.

Bryan et al (2008) examined the relationship between job satisfaction and task and contextual performance.…”
