Influences of Trait Negative Affect and Situational Similarity on Correlation and Convergence of Work Attitudes and Job Stress Perceptions Across Two Jobs

摘要

Job attitude and work stressor measures were obtained from members of a large military reserve unit. Respondents worked part-time at the unit and full-time in a different occupation in a separate organi zation. Correlations of corresponding job attitudes and perceived stres- sors across the two jobs were significant, but not of high magnitude. For both job stressors and work attitudes, trait negative affectivity did Not explain cross-job correlations. Tests of squared differences between Attitudes and between job stressors also indicated no influence of trait Affect.
