The role of facet importance as a moderator in job satisfaction processes
Two studies were designed to test hypotheses derived from Locke's (1969, 1976, 1984) model of job satisfaction. Consistent with the model, both studies found that perceived have‐want discrepancy scores were powerful predictors of facet job satisfaction. In addition, facet importance tended to moderate this relationship in the manner predicted by Locke. Workers who viewed a job facet as having high importance were more satisfied with a small perce…
Work—nonwork conflict and the perceived quality of life
From additive models of overall quality of life, two hypotheses were derived about the relationships among work—family conflict, work—leisure conflict, job satisfaction, family satisfaction, leisure satisfaction and global life satisfaction. In supporting these two hypotheses, path analyses of survey data from a national probability sample of United States workers ( n = 823) showed: (1) the direct paths between work—nonwork conflict and global li…

Work‐Family conflict: The effect of job and family involvement
A review of past research revealed inconsistent findings concerning the relationship between job involvement and work‐family conflict. This study tested whether family involvement moderates the relationship between job involvement and work‐family conflict. Two types of family involvement (spouse and parent) and two types of work‐family conflict (job‐spouse and job‐parent) were assessed. Data were gathered via questionnaire from a sample of nontea…

West Point: Critica Incident Of Leadership
Usable critical incident descriptions of leadership were collected from followers who were freshmen cadets in basic training (n = 400) at the U. S. Military Academy. A content analysis revealed several situational and behavior categories, both typifying and discriminating between "good" and "bad" leadership descriptions. The most notable findings were (1) the concordance between results obtained from the critical incident technique and from ratin…
The Contingency Model of Leadership: Some Current issues
After briefly discussing the prominence, basic substance, and history of Fiedler's contingency model of leadership effectiveness, four issues crucial to the current status and future development of the model were considered: (a) the form of the contingent relationship actually constituting the model; (b) the need for direct measurement of situational favorableness; (c) the problem of classifying results from evidential validation studies; and (d)…
Subjective Meaning of the LPC Scale: The View of Respondents
This study explored the meaning of Fiedler's (1967) LPC scale through direct examination of respondents' reported experiences with their least preferred coworkers and reactions to the LPC scale. An in-depth interview focused on specific incidents in which the co-worker proved troublesome. An attitude value perspective of the task versus interpersonal interpretation of the LPC provided a framework for content analysis of these data. The complexity…
Reliability of the Attitudes Toward Women Scale (AWS) and the Personal Attributes Questionnaire (PAQ)
Internal Analyses of the Least Preferred Co-Worker (LPC) Scale
Responses of 226 undergraduates to a 22-item version of Fiedler's (1967) Least Preferred Co-Worker (LPC) Scale were subjected to several internal analyses. Factor analysis, correlations between subscale scores, cross-tabulation of classification decisions, and comparisons of internal consistency coefficients for subscales and total scale all suggest that this version of the LPC scale has two relatively independent factors. The first factor reflec…

Cortical surface patterns in human and nonhuman primates
An analysis of skulls from several primate species shows that a “worm‐track” surface pattern, first identified in the brow region in fossil adult hominids and subsequently in olive baboons, chimpanzees, and macaques, is also present in numerous other species. Fine cancellous bone and its attendant vermiculate surface pattern have been observed in subadult and adult gelada baboons, gibbons, gorillas, and orangutans as well as in modern Homo sapien…
The Job-Satisfaction/ Life-Satisfaction Relationship: A Review of Empirical Research
After a brief discussion of the nature and importance of work, this article reviews empirical research that relates satisfaction with work to satisfaction with life. The review covers more than 350 job-satisfaction/life-satisfaction relationships reported in 23 studies that vary widely in terms of the sample, instrumentation, and date of survey. For more than 90% of the cases, the direction of this relationship is positive; and none of the scatte…
Unique Variance in Job and Life Satisfaction Associated with Work-Related and Extra-Workplace Variables
Multiple regression procedures were used to assess the unique and incremental variance in job satisfaction and life satisfaction that could be accounted for by different sets of variables. A probability survey of 1041 adults indicated that work-related variables influence general life satisfaction and that extra-workplace variables influence job satisfaction
Browridge structure and function in extant primates and Neanderthals
The structural characteristics of the supraorbital ridge in three extent primate species and fossil Neanderthals are described in this study. Surface morphology and patterns of trabecular organization as observed in cross‐sectional collections of Papio, Macaca and Pan are compared with similar traits encountered in the Pech de l'Aze infant, Gibraltar child, and La Quina 5, La Chapelle‐aux‐Saints, Broken Hill, Skhul V, Skhul IX, Tabun I and Gibral…

Construct validity of the Least Preferred Co-Worker score
We study the limit of high activation energy of a special Fokker–Planck equation known as the Kramers–Smoluchowski equation (KS). This equation governs the time evolution of the probability density of a particle performing a Brownian motion under the influence of a chemical potential $H/\\varepsilon$. We choose $H$ having two wells corresponding to two chemical states $A$ and $B$. We prove that after a suitable rescaling the solution to the KS co…
Leader esteem for the least preferred co-worker score, training, and effectiveness: An experimental examination
A laboratory experiment supported Fiedler's Contingency Model analysis of leadership training. The effect of leadership training on group performance was contingent on leadership style, that is, the leader's relation to his least preferred co-worker (LPC). Training improved the performance of high LPC leaders, but was detrimental to the performance of groups with low LPC leaders. High intelligence leaders profited more from training than low inte…
