TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the relative efficacy of the Fishbein model and traditional job attitude measures as predictors of absenteeism and turnover, and concluded that neither approach seems superior especially in light of the amounts of criterion variance accounted for.
Abstract: The present investigation studied the lab-to-field generalizability of Fishbein's attitude-behavior model and examined the relative efficacy of the Fishbein model and traditional job attitude measures as predictors of absenteeism and turnover. Predictor data were collected from 108 nursing home employees immediately preceding the two-month time period of interest. Criterion data were obtained at the end of the two-month period. Fishbein's model received some field support, particularly with respect to predicting turnover. Traditional job attitude measures were more effective predictors of absenteeism, while Fishbein's model was a more effective predictor of turnover. It was concluded that neither approach seems superior especially in light of the amounts of criterion variance accounted for. Empirical studies of the attitude-behavior relationship in specific reference to job attitudes and job withdrawal behaviors have been reviewed recently by Porter and Steers (1973). They concluded that there is considerable evidence for consistent negative relationships between job attitudes (i.e., job satisfaction) and turnover. There appears to be a similar relationship of job attitudes to absenteeism, although there is much less information available. Porter and Steers note that many of the more recent findings are based on reliable and valid measures of job attitudes such as the Job Descriptive Index,

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the change in job-search behaviors and employment outcomes of 121 recent university graduates who had not found employment in their final term prior to graduation, and found that job seekers increased their active job search behavior, formal job-source usage, and search intensity and decreased their job search anxiety.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the relationship between personality traits and aspects of job satisfaction, and concluded that personality does not have a strong or consistent influence either on what individuals perceive as important in their work environment or on their levels of satisfaction.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the effect of uncertainty-related antecedents on the frequency of upward and downward social comparison in job search behaviors and found that role ambiguity, task autonomy, and core self-evaluations were significant predictors of upward social comparison.

TL;DR: The authors compared the relative strengths of the effects of method versus substance on relationships between job characteristics and attitudinal outcomes, and found that common method effects inflated relationship between job attributes and affective outcomes, thereby supporting the social information processing model.
Abstract: This study compared the relative strengths of the effects of method versus substance on relationships between job characteristics and attitudinal outcomes. Reports from both job incumbents and nonincumbents on job characteristics and job attitudes were compared for 509 employees of four organizations. Substantive relationships were observed between job characteristics and effort, supporting the job characteristics model. Common method effects, however, inflated relationships between job characteristics and affective outcomes, thereby supporting the social information processing model. Implications are discussed for other areas of organizational research that rely on single data sources.
