| Abstract: | A complete test of job characteristics theory must assess the objective nature of the job. Thus this study uses job characteristics data from three independent sources - incumbents, ratings from job descriptions, and the Dictionary of Occupational Titles. It warns that incumbent self-reports of job characteristics as indicators of actual work environments should be used carefully and it suggests new methods for studying job characteristics. |
