CHOICE Review

Part of the "Advanced Topics in Organizational Behavior" series, Spector's book examines current and emerging issues related to job satisfaction. Spector, a professor of industrial organizational psychology, covers the assessment, causes, consequences, and nature of job satisfaction, drawing on the vast job satisfaction research literature. Organized in six chapters, this book discusses the nature of job satisfaction, reviews several scales used to measure its various aspects, outlines cultural and demographic differences in job satisfaction, describes its environmental and personal antecedents, and reflects on its potential effects on organizations and individuals. Although well written and not especially technical, this work will be of greatest interest to readers with some background in organizational behavior and those familiar with basic research methodology. Upper-division undergraduate through professional collections. T. Gutteridge; University of Connecticut
