Abstract Details

2010, Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.), Bowling Green State University, Psychology/Industrial-Organizational.
The purpose of this study was to examine whether goal orientation influences the interaction between job demands and job control in predicting physical symptoms and job satisfaction. Two-way interactions were predicted between job demands and performance-avoidance goal orientation with physical symptoms and job satisfaction as outcomes. Three-way interactions were also predicted between job demands, control, and mastery-approach goal orientation for both outcomes, and between job demands, control, and performance-approach goal orientation in predicting job satisfaction. None of these hypotheses were supported using either self-report measures or O*NET measures of job demands and control. However, main effects were found for self-reported job demands in predicting physical symptoms, for self-reported job demands and control in predicting job satisfaction, and for O*NET independence (control) in predicting job satisfaction. Additionally, two-way interactions were found indicating low self-reported control strengthened the negative relationship between self-reported job demands and job satisfaction, performance-approach goal orientation strengthened the positive relationship between self-reported control and job satisfaction, and mastery-approach goal orientation strengthened the relationship between O*NET independence (control) and physical symptoms.
