title: Impact of personality and intelligence on job satisfaction of assembly line and bench work - an industrial study.
abstract: A study of the impact of machine-paced (M/P) and self-paced (S/P) work on job satisfaction of 28 female industrial assembly workers was evaluated in which M/P work was confounded with simplified work and the S/P job was confounded with enriched tasks. Results indicated the following: 1. Over three-quarters of workers were more satisfied in S/P jobs, while only less than one-quarter were more satisfied in M/P jobs. 2. The 16PF personality test effectively predicts (0.88 multiple correlation) the satisfaction ratios of M/P to S/P jobs.
