Holland-style Measures of Congruence: Are Complex Indices More Effective Predictors of Satisfaction?

Hoeglund, Tawni J.; Hansen, Jo-Ida C.

Journal of Vocational Behavior, v54 n3 p471-82 Jun 1999

Two Holland-style congruence indices computed for 16 occupational samples did not show significant correlations between job satisfaction and congruence for 12 samples and very small relationships for the other 4. Using congruence measures to predict job satisfaction may be more efficacious for workers entering new fields than for the more experienced workers profiled in this study. (SK)
