LIFE STYLE-WORK GROUP STRUCTURE-TASK CONGRUENCE AND JOB SATISFACTION AND PERFORMANCE: A THREE-DIMENSIONAL CONTINGENCY MODEL
Abstract
A Three-Dimensional contingency‘theory’of organizational behaviour was used to predict job satisfaction and performance in a sample of registered representatives of a national securities firm. Contingency variables composed of individual life style orientation, perceived work group structure and perceived job complexity did not predict a significant amount of variance in the dependent measures. Cautions concerning the assumed universal superiority of contingency predictors over simpler formulations are discussed.
