Conditions under which employees respond positively to enriched work
Abstract
Tested the moderating effects of (a) employee growth need strength and (b) level of satisfaction with the work context on employee responses to enriched work. Data were collected from 201 employees who work on 25 jobs in a bank. Employees who had strong growth needs and also were satisfied with the work context (i.e., with their pay, job security, co-workers, and supervisors) responded more positively to enriched jobs than employees who had weak needs for growth and/or who were dissatisfied with the work context. Implications for the practice of work redesign are discussed. (19 ref) (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2006 APA, all rights reserved). © 1976 American Psychological Association.
