Employee Attitude and Job Satisfaction: An Analysis of Correlation
This ten-page undergraduate research paper examines the correlation between employee attitudes and job satisfaction. The author notes that scholarly and industry studies, employee population surveys, and company evaluations have confirmed that there is a direct correlation between employee attitude and job satisfaction, but there has been less agreement on the specific dynamics of this correlation in terms of cause and effect. Some researchers have indicated that job satisfaction exerts a major influence on employee attitudes, while other researchers have concluded that the former has less influence than the latter. For all practical purposes, a correlation exists, but it remains to be conclusively determined which issues are dominant and bear the most weight.
