TL;DR: Based on a 12-month study of 2,794 employees in a telecommunications firm, it is found that ERP system implementation moderated the relationships between three job characteristics and job satisfaction.
Abstract: Little research has examined the impacts of enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems implementation on job satisfaction. Based on a 12-month study of 2,794 employees in a telecommunications firm, we found that ERP system implementation moderated the relationships between three job characteristics (skill variety, autonomy, and feedback) and job satisfaction. Our findings highlight the key role that ERP system implementation can have in altering well-established relationships in the context of technology-enabled organizational change situations. This work also extends research on technology diffusion by moving beyond a focus on technology-centric outcomes, such as system use, to understanding broader job outcomes.

TL;DR: The Position Analysis Questionnaires (PAQ) as mentioned in this paper was developed to identify behaviorial job elements and their organization into job dimensions, and the exploration of certain possible practical applications of job data based on such job elements or dimensions.
Abstract: : It was hypothesized that, across the spectrum of jobs, there is some underlying 'structure' of human work in terms of the human behaviors involved. The project was directed toward the identification of behaviorial job elements and of their organization into job dimensions, and the exploration of certain possible practical applications of job data based on such job elements or dimensions. The project involved the development of a job analysis instrument called the Position Analysis Questionnaires (PAQ) that included 189 job elements of a worker-oriented nature. Principal components analysis procedures were used in the analyses of two types of data based on the PAQ. One set consisted of job data for 536 jobs that were analyzed with the PAQ. The other consisted of 'attribute profiles' of the job elements; (These consisted of median ratings of the relevance of 67 human attributes to each job element). (Author)

TL;DR: A national study found similarities in levels of job satisfaction, burnout, and intent to change jobs among child welfare, community mental health, and family service workers, although the determinants varied by field of practice.
Abstract: A national study found similarities in levels of job satisfaction, burnout, and intent to change jobs among child welfare, community mental health, and family service workers, although the determinants varied by field of practice. The data suggest that a universal approach aimed at increasing job satisfaction and reducing burnout is likely to be of minimal value; interventions must be conducted within each setting and must attend to the idiosyncracies of each group.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a theoretical rationale for understanding the relationship between job satisfaction and job performance, and argue that job satisfaction is the direct result of the individual's specific task or work goals and that these goals are, in turn, determined by individual's values, knowledge, and beliefs in the context of the situation as he understands it.
