Job Context Satisfaction and Job Design: A Conceptual PerspectiveRecent empirical inquiry focusing on the moderating effect of job context satisfaction on the job content yields worker response relationship has produced seemingly contradictory findings. Three types of explanations are explored: chance occurrence, sample distribution artifacts, and a series of alternative conceptual explanations. The first reconceptualization suggests that context satisfaction level influences higher level needs. A second reconceptualization involves absorption/distraction as the process which explains the role of context satisfaction. Six possible determinants of absorption/distraction level are discussed. Testable hypotheses for each idea developed are presented. (Author). |
