Variations in Orientation to Work and Job Satisfaction

Russell, Kevin J.

Sociology of Work and Occupations, 2, 4, 299-322, Nov 75

The Proposition that Herzberg's bipartite analysis of job satisfaction oversimplifies by failing to take account of variations in work orientation was tested empirically and corroborated; dominant rewards for expressively oriented workers are intrinsic, for instrumentally oriented workers, extrinsic. Management should ascertain variations in employees' work orientation to enhance job satisfaction. (Author/AJ)
