TO GRIEVE OR NOT TO GRIEVE - FACTORS RELATED TO VOICING DISCONTENT INAN ORGANIZATIONAL SIMULATION

This paper examines the relation between several attitudinal and perfo rmance measures and the decision to file a grievance in an organizatio nal simulation. Results were consistent with predictions derived from previous research. Employees who valued their compensation and were sa tisfied with their performance were likely to file a grievance against their manager. Conversely, employees who were highly satisfied with t heir job and judged the selection process and performance evaluation s ystems to be fair were not likely to file a grievance. Implications of these results for future research are discussed.
