Abstract: Abstract : A study is reported of the variations in organizational commitment and job satisfaction, as related to subsequent turnover in a sample of recently-employed psychiatric technician trainees. A longitudinal study was made across a 10 1/2 month period, with attitude measures collected at four points in time. For this sample, job satisfaction measures appeared better able to differentiate future stayers from leavers in the earliest phase of the study. With the passage of time, organizational commitment measures proved to be a better predictor of turnover, and job satisfaction failed to predict turnover. The findings are discussed in the light of other related studies, and possible explanations are examined. (Modified author abstract)

TL;DR: In this paper, a model for job attitudes and job performance is proposed which hypothesizes that relationships occur in situations where job behaviors are primarily worker controlled, and data collected in two union representation elections are presented as a test of the proposition that when an employee is free of situational constraints in choosing among behavioral alternatives, his attitudes predict his performance.

TL;DR: In this article, a study of 103 physicians providing routine pediatric care in ambulatory clinics was conducted and the relationship between job satisfaction and performance was found to be positively associated when: (1) the physician's intrinsic job values supported patient care activities; (2) he received professional recognition from outpatient care; and (3) commitment to outpatient care arose from interest in the activity itself rather than from its value as a means to long-range career goals.
