Abstract
The relationship of job satisfaction to empirically derived measures of job perceptions originally investigated by Zaccaro and Stone (1988) and to measures of the job from the Job Diagnostic Survey (JDS: Hackman & Old-ham, 1975) was investigated. The multiplicative nature of the JDS scales forming the Motivating Potential Score (MPS) was tested. The extent to which job satisfaction mediated the relationship between job perceptions and intent to leave was explored using a path analysis. The empirically derived measures of Zacarro and Stone were found to account for a significant increment in variance in the case of satisfaction with work itself, but not with overall satisfaction or satisfaction with other job facets. No evidence for the multiplicative formulation of the MPS was found. Both perception of job danger and a linear composite motivating potential scale exhibited direct effects on intent to leave not mediated by job satisfaction.
