An Analysis of the Relationship Between Job Satisfaction and Labor Productivity as Measured Across Line Items Within an Organization.

摘要

The relationship between job satisfaction and productivity is one that has received considerable attention recently. This thesis studied the Aerospace Guidance and Metrology Center, Newark AFS, Ohio. Production data in the form of units produced, direct labor hours, and direct material costs (in 1967 dollars) were used. The production data used covered twenty (20) line items that are repaired at Newark AFS. Through the use of regression techniques, marginal products were determined. These marginal products were then standardized. A questionnaire was developed so that a measure of job satisfaction could be derived, to be used in the final analysis. In the final analysis the marginal products were used with the job satisfaction questionnaire responses to determine what type, if any, relationship there was between job satisfaction and productivity, as measured at Newark AFS.
