WORK VALUES AND JOB-SATISFACTION

To test Herzberg's (1966, 1987; Herzberg, Mausner, & Snyderman, 1959) motivator-hygiene theory, I examined the relationship between work val ues and job satisfaction. Educators (N = 386) from 18 Canadian seconda ry schools were asked to report the degree to which they experienced 1 6 work values and five dimensions of job satisfaction. Factor analysis suggested five sets of work values: intrinsic work-related, intrinsic work-outcome, extrinsic job-related, extrinsic job-outcome, and extri nsic people-related. Regression analyses identified the best predictor s for each of the five dimensions of job satisfaction. The results sup port and extend Herzberg's theory. In addition to those identified by Herzberg, other factors contributed portions of variance to the five d imensions of job satisfaction.
