Field and Laboratory Studies for Increasing the Intrinsic Reward Value in Navy Jobs and Careers. Final Report. Technical Report No. 8.
Barrett, Gerald V.; Dambrot Faye H.
This report summarizes the technical reports which were produced from a research program that focused on determining the complex interactions among job structural attributes, individual abilities, values and orientation, individual job performance and satisfaction, and organizational tenure related to monitoring and maintenance tasks. After reviewing the three integrated research approaches (field studies of Naval monitoring and maintenance personnel, laboratory simulations of monitoring and maintenance jobs, and an extensive literature review), a discussion is presented. It was found that those individuals with the most ability who would ordinarily be selected by an organization because of their anticipated superior job performance, were also the individuals who would derive the least satisfaction from the job and therefore would plan to leave the organization, unless an attempt were made to either place these individuals on jobs in which the intrinsic reward value is concomitant with their abilities and/or values, or redesign the job to fit their preferences for job structural attributes. Overall, the report concluded that more work is required in specifying the individual and job attributes which will meet both individual and organizational needs. (Author/TA)
