Effects Of Thinking Style On The Job Satisfaction Of Retail Store Employees

Abstract

The relationship between thinking style, and job satisfaction was investigated with retail store employees whose job involved highly repetitive tasks. Most of the employees had thinking styles characterized by reliability, precision, and conformity. These employees were generally satisfied with their jobs. The least satisfied employees were those who had a thinking style characterized by a low tolerance for detailed, routine work, and little respect for rules. The practical implications of these findings are discussed.
