2023, European Management JournalCitation Excerpt :Job satisfaction refers to an assessment or appraisal of an individual's job or job experiences (Locke, 1976). Job satisfaction also has been examined extensively in the literature due to its significant relationships with important job-related outcomes such as job performance (Judge, Thoresen, Bono, & Patton, 2001), organizational citizenship behavior (Organ & Konovsky, 1989), absenteeism (Hackett & Guion, 1985) and turnover (Carsten & Spector, 1987). The job satisfaction of a given employee was measured by asking an employee the extent to which he or she agreed or disagreed (4 point scale) with the following statement: "In general, I am satisfied with my present job."
Time Pressure, Time Autonomy, and Sickness Absenteeism in Hospital Employees: A Longitudinal Study on Organizational Absenteeism Records
2018, Safety and Health at WorkCitation Excerpt :This absence of association between job satisfaction and sickness absenteeism that was found in the current study was observed before in healthcare work [36]. Noteworthy, evidence from meta-analyses for the withdrawal model is also modest (e.g., ρ = –0.09) [37] or restricted to voluntary absenteeism [38]. The withdrawal model seems to depend on social context, as was recently shown [39].
