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. </blockquote> ===== Full Brayfield & Rothe (1951) ===== "[[http://psycnet.apa.org/journals/apl/35/5/307/|An index of job satisfaction.|An index of job satisfaction]]" (1951, JAP) From 1 - strongly agree to 5 - strongly disagree <blockquote> 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. - There are some conditions concerning my job that could be improved (R) - My job is like a hobby to me - My job is usually interesting enough to keep me from getting bored - It seems that my friends are more interested in their jobs (R) - I consider my job rather unpleasant (R) - I enjoy my work more than my leisure time - I am often bored with my job (R) - I feel fairly well satisfied with my present job - Most of the time I have to force myself to go to work (R) - I am satisfied with my job for the time being - I feel that my job is no more interesting than others I could get (R) - I definitely dislike my work (R) - I feel that I am happier in my work than most other people - Most days I am enthusiastic about my work - Each day of work seems like it will never end (R) - I like my job better than the average worker does - My job is pretty uninteresting (R) - I find real enjoyment in my work - I am disappointed that I ever took this job (R) </blockquote> job_satisfaction_scale.txt Last modified: 2013/10/20 01:13by filination
