More Book Details

Description of the Book:

This research was conducted to determine if there were any significant relationships between concomitant measures of situational constraints and (1) job performance; (2) work attitudes; and (3) behavioral intentions to quit for a sample of employees from a United States Mint. This research also investigated predictive relationships between situational constraints and outcome measures over a fourteen-month period. Survey and performance appraisal data were collected from a sample of 260 United States Federal Mint employees in three waves: Wave 1 during November 1983; Wave 2 at the end of May 1984; and Wave 3 during January 1985. This study found no significant relationships between situational constraints and self-appraisal ratings. Significant relationships, however, were found between constraints and supervisory performance ratings. Overall, the study did not observe a conclusive constraints – affective measures relationship. NO significant connection between situational constraints and behavioral intentions to quit were found in the study.

While this study’s longitudinal data revealed little evidence of longitudinal predictability of performance by constraints, the author recommends the study’s longitudinal design be used in future studies. The longitudinal design would enable researchers to draw inferences concerning the causal effects of constraints on subsequent outcome measures
