Abstract
The correlational literature concerning the relationships between individual job satisfaction and individual performance was analyzed, using the meta-analysis techniques of Hunter, Schmidt, and Jackson (1982).Higher and more consistent correlations between overall job satisfaction and performance were indicated than those previously reported.Relationships between JDI measures of job satisfaction and performance were not as high or as consistent as those found between overall job satisfaction and performance.
