Similar
Jobs--Dissimilar Evaluations
A. Shukla & S.B. Upadhyaya |
The
study attempted to explore locus of control in order to explain variations
in job-perception and job-satisfaction of Ss holding same jobs. Internal
Ss perceived their jobs more favorably and were also more satisfied
with various aspects of their jobs as compared to the external Ss.
A 2 x 2 ANOVA tested the joint influences of locus of control and
job-perception on job satisfaction. The two main effects were found
to be significant while the interaction was not. This revealed that
all Ss who perceived their jobs as "more enriched" were
more satisfied with their jobs as compared to those Ss who perceived
their jobs as "less enriched", and this was true for both
external and internal Ss.
