title: Motivating and Stressful Properties of Jobs: Integration of Research Approaches Through Facet Analysis.
abstract: This study applied the methodology of Facet Analysis in order to develop and test a definitional framework for the study of job characteristics. Five facets were used to define job characteristics, integrating the motivational and stressful properties of jobs. Perceptual responses were compared to attitudinal assessments. Analysis of the correlational structures of responses from a sample of 240 executives using Smallest Space Analysis supported the definitional system. The empirical data verified the five facets. Results indicated that the structure of relationships among job elements remains invariant across the three assessments of perception, importance, and satisfaction.
