job characteristics, job satisfaction, job/work designAbstract
The aim of the research was to analyse the relationship between job characteristics and job satisfaction. The base for the research was the Job Characteristics Model by Hackman and Oldham (1980) as well as numerous verification studies which pointed to the need to consider three groups of work characteristics: motivational, social, and contextual ones. The study sample comprised 375 persons, aged from 19 to 64, rep resenting different industries.
The obtained results have confirmed that the highest relationship with employees’ satisfaction is displayed by the so-called “social characteristics”. At the same time, the percentage of job satisfaction variance explained by the features of work has turned out to be negligible, which indicates the need to explore different factors affecting job satisfaction, and to take into account some more advanced models and a larger set of variables.
