<blockquote>

We measured overall job  satisfac-
tion with five items taken from the Brayfield-Rothe (1951) mea-
sure of job satisfaction. These five items were :
  - I feel fairly well satisfied  with my present job
  - Most  days I am enthusiastic about my work
  - Each day  of work seems like it will never end (R)
  - I  find  real  enjoyment  in my work
  - I  consider my job rather unpleasant (R)

In order to ensure that this five-item measure was reliable, we gave
it to  an independent  sample  of 222 university employees. The
reliability  of the five-item scale in this sample was .88. 

the  response  scale  ranged
from  0 (strongly  disagree) to  10 (strongly  agree) [...] we averaged  scores for the five items  to produce a single
score for  overall job  satisfaction.

Some jobs are more interesting and satisfying than others. We want to know how people feel about different
jobs. This blank contains eighteen statements  about jobs. You are to cross out the phrase below each statement
which best describes how you feel about your present job. There are  no right  or wrong answers.  We should
like your honest opinion on each one of the statements.
