Abstract
This study investigated the source and direction of causal influence in the relationships among performance rating, performance output, intrinsic satisfaction, and extrinsic satisfaction. A cross-lag correlation design, corrected cross-lag procedures, dynamic correlations, and frequency-of-change-in-product-moment (FCP) techniques were used to analyze the data. Field data were collected from 108 experienced machinists and 62 machine repair technicians. Using a modified Job Diagnostic Survey (JDS), six qualified observers categorized the machinist and technician jobs as stimulating or nonstimulating. The data analysis and results indicate significant differences in the causal inferences made for the two categories of jobs. It was determined that it could be inferred that for stimulating jobs “performance rating causes intrinsic satisfaction”, “performance output causes intrinsic satisfaction”, and “extrinsic satisfaction causes performance output”. In addition, the data for the nonstimulating jobs suggest that it can be inferred that “intrinsic and extrinsic satisfaction cause performance rating” and “intrinsic satisfaction causes performance output”.
