Abstract
The perceptual set of the individual worker regarding the centrality of work as a life interest is shown to be related to a measure of job satisfaction. Workers with a work-oriented Central Life Interest (CLI) had the highest job satisfaction measured by the Job Descriptive Index (JDI); those with a non-work-oriented CLI the lowest job satisfaction; and those with a flexible focus CLI an intermediated level of job satisfaction. Furthermore, it was found that a feature of work that was relatively undesirable was so rated on the JDI, regardless of the CLI orientation. Implications of these findings are discussed. Study is based on 430 male, blue-collar workers and 144 female clerical workers in a telephone company, and 336 female clerical workers in 37 branches of a bank.
