Measuring Employee Satisfaction Using Structural Equation Modeling

摘要

This study profiles the attitudes and perceptions of a rural school district by its employees including the relationships, roles, and contributions that employees and culture play in the development of job satisfaction. Drawing on a sample of two longitudinal sets of employee data, psychographic motives, demographic attributes, and employee activities are revealed. Job satisfaction related to work environment, organizational behavior and curriculum support is empirically tested and supported using Structured Equation Modeling (SEM). The findings suggest that the job satisfaction model is relevant, that the model is relevant across the time of the longitudinal study and that there is improvement in job satisfaction between the two time periods.
