  • Edward E. Lawler

Abstract

Industrial psychologists have been seriously concerned with the measurement, interpretation and implications of job attitudes ever since the Western Electric Studies (Roethlisberger and Dickson, 1939). When Herzberg et al. (1957) reviewed the literature as of 1955, they pointed out that there were severed thousand studies in the psychological literature that were concerned with job attitudes. At the present time there must be at least five thousand studies in the literature. Most of these job attitude studies have had as their major focus job satisfaction.
