The relationship between job satisfaction and job performance in a manufacturing firm in the Vaal Triangle / Rudolph BothmaBothma, Rudolph January 2015 (has links)
The comprehension of how job satisfaction impacts employee performance is of utmost importance to an organisation. If the relationship between job satisfaction and job performance could be better understood, managers could manipulate the variables to increase job satisfaction which will in turn lead to better performance of the company.
Both a theoretical and an empirical analysis were applied in this study. The quantitative research design was followed using a standardised questionnaire as measuring instrument. The questionnaire was handed to 56 employees targeted by a cross-sectional survey which was spread across all 8 departments of the company. The Pearson Correlation Coefficient was used to indicate the relationships between the variables.
Company policies and practises were found to be the factor that was most significantly related to job satisfaction and job performance. Motivation and personal development was the performance factor that was most significantly related to general satisfaction and total performance.
A strong positive relationship between job satisfaction and job performance was confirmed, which indicated that the more satisfied employees are the better they will perform. / MBA, North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2015

Are self-evaluations helpful or harmful when employees are unaware of their marginal contribution to firm welfare?Reichert, Bernhard Erich 26 October 2010 (has links)
This study examines whether eliciting self-evaluations increases or decreases the propensity of a productive agent to retaliate against an employer for paying compensation that the agent perceives to be too low for the work performed. Specifically, I consider a setting in which a principal knows more about the agent’s production than even the agent can observe. In such a setting, an agent might perceive that s/he is being underpaid if the principal pays less than the agent believes s/he deserves, especially if the agent is overconfident about his/her own productive ability. Such an agent could take retaliatory actions against the principal that would be costly to both parties. Self-evaluations could mitigate such tendencies if they result in compensation that is more aligned with agent self-perceptions. Alternatively, self-evaluations could worsen such tendencies if they reinforce the perceived inequity of compensation that does not match agent self-perceptions. I present experimental evidence from comparing a control condition without self-evaluations to three different forms of self-evaluation reports, finding evidence consistent with the premise that self-evaluations increase retaliatory actions and lower welfare. My findings show a cost to self-evaluations that thus far has not been sufficiently considered in the literature. / text

Employee Satisfaction and Performance in Managerial and Non-Managerial Levels of a State Institution for the Mentally RetardedRamser, Charles D. (Charles David) 05 1900 (has links)
The present sbudy is an effort to seek information from a type of organization rarely studied along the lines of employee satisfaction's correlation to job performance—a state institution for the mentally retarded—which will shed significant light on the dynamics of this question. It is unique in that it focuses closely on the specific job duties of both managerial and non-managerial employees as a basis for understanding the relationship between employee satisfaction and performance.

A Study to Determine the Relationship of Versatile Behavior to Individual Demographics, Job Characteristics, Organizational Climate Performance Feedback and Job SatisfactionAckerman, Raymond L. (Ramond Lorens) 05 1900 (has links)
The behavioral characteristics of leaders have been subjects of study for centuries. The scope of these studies has grown to encompass task analysis, follower needs and situational requirements. Current leadership theories consistently recognize the need for a successful leader to adjust behavior to meet the needs of the task, followers and situation. The problem of this research is to define this ability to modify one's behavior, measure it and test its relationship to demographic and job characteristics.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the correlation of individuals" ability to modify their behavior to job function, hierarchy, climate, feedback, satisfaction and their demographic characteristics. The hypotheses held that high ability to modify behavior would correlate positively with job characteristics, climate, feedback and satisfaction and show no correlation to individual demographics.
Data were collected through the administration of three
research instruments to 138 managers of three business firms. The instruments were the Participant Data Form providing job and demographic characteristics, Descriptive Adjective Questionnaire measuring an individual ability to modify behavior, and Climate and Satisfaction Evaluation Index measuring climate, feedback and satisfaction.
Perason's correlation coefficients were calculated to identify possible relationship between the manager's ability to modify behavior, called versatility, and all other independent variables, and linear and multiple regressions were utilized to verify the relationship. No significant statistical correlation was found.
Conclusions are that the ability of a manager to vary behavior does not influence job climate, feedback or satisfaction, that the versatile behavior is not derived from job or demographic characteristics, and that job satisfaction is directly and positively related to performance feedback and climate.

Relationship of Physical Characteristics, Personality Traits, and Biographical Data to Success of Flight AttendantsHons, Michael Jerome 08 1900 (has links)
With the EEOC requiring empirical criterion-related validity for selection procedures, predictor variables of physical characteristics, biographical data, and personality traits were related to both on-the-job performance and training performance. In the correlational analysis of the variables, a total of 455 flight attendants from a single airline were used, with half of the subjects serving as a cross-validation sample. The results showed slight relationships between biographical data and physical characteristics to training performance but no relationship between any predictor variable and job performance. The impact of race being a significant predictor of training performance was reviewed. The lack of practical information was discussed, and implications made for future research to include proper design and reliability of screening procedures before attempting criterion-related validation.

Effects of Goal Setting, E-mail Feedback and Graphic Feedback on the Productivity of Public School Attendance ClerksRexroat, Robin D. 08 1900 (has links)
A package intervention, consisting of daily-adjusted goal setting, e-mail feedback, and graphic feedback, was used in a public school attendance office to increase the efficiency with which 3 attendance clerks documented student attendance. During the intervention phase, the attendance secretary set a daily goal for each attendance clerk. This goal was a percentage of student absences to be coded and entered in the school computer program. After establishing a daily goal, the attendance secretary provided daily feedback, in the form of a written e-mail response and graphed feedback to each clerk. If the subjects had attained their daily goal, the attendance secretary also delivered a praise statement along with the e-mail feedback. Results indicated that the intervention package was ineffective in producing change in the attendance clerks' absence coding behavior.

Intellectual Ability, Personality, and Vocational Interest as Predictors of Successful Job Performance in Restaurant ManagersOlds, F. Ray 12 1900 (has links)
The history and use of tests of intellectual ability, personality, and vocational interest is briefly discussed as background for an exploratory study in the use of these instruments in predicting successful restaurant manager performance. Most previous research regarding managerial potential has focused on perceptions of managerial ability rather than on performance issues. Sixty-eight restaurant managers were tested in order to assess general intellectual ability, personality traits, and vocational interests as predictors of performance criteria. Based on previous research, it was hypothesized that general intellectual ability, vocational match, masculinity, ascendance, and sociability would be positively correlated with effective job performance ratings. Results of the study did not confirm these predictions.
