Abstract
Five hundred and ninety-six participants working in lower level clerical positions in 21 work groups from five insurance organizations in the U.S. were administered the Job Diagnostic Survey (JDS). It was hypothesized that work group size would have an effect on four dependent measures provided by the JDS, which were: general job satisfaction, social satisfaction, growth satisfaction, and Motivating Potential Score (MPS). Two separate sets of statistical tests (Pearson r correlations and one-way ANOVAs) indicated no support for the hypotheses tested. However, one separate correlation (growth satisfaction x MPS) which examined a psychometric dimension of the JDS was significant.
