"Several approaches relate job satisfaction to work values and job characteristics. Quinn & Mangione (1973) used work values to weight domain-specific satisfaction ratings to find out that importance weighting rather reduces the explanatory power of domain-specific satisfaction ratings with regard to some outcome variables, such as overall job satisfaction. Kalleberg (1977) analyzed the effect of both types of variables in their own right. Using US data he concluded that while job characteristics had strong positive relationships with overall job satisfaction, the effect of work values was negative. Borg (1991) found that work values and the evaluation of job characteristics were not independent from each other. Coping strategies can account for linear or v-shaped relationships for different aspects. The present paper replicates selected analyses of previous studies using the International Social Survey Program 1997 study on 'Work Orientations', which includes similar indicators. The study is based on representative samples of fulltime employed respondents in a broad variety of national contexts." (author's abstract)... view less
