| Résumé : |
Job satisfaction is a central concept in human resources management. In spite of this, the relations found between this concept and other variables of the field remain sometimes uncertain or even contradictory in certain cases. This article identifies three problems: the first, which can directly affect the links between job satisfaction and other variables in the field, concerns the statistical tools used to analyze job satisfaction. To discuss this point, we assess the needs of researchers to answer their questions, as well as the contributions and limitations of the different statistical tools used. The second and third problems concern job satisfaction itself and concern the definition as well as the instruments for measuring job satisfaction. Once these problems were stated, based on an empirical dataset and using the appropriate statistical tools to answer researchers' questions, we analyzed four measures of job satisfaction with mixed effects models. To analyze these two groups of determinants were used: work-related factors and person-related factors. It appears that for the determinants strongly related to job satisfaction, the results are close for the four scales of job satisfaction. On the other hand, for the explanatory variables whose link with job satisfaction is lower, the significance will depend on the choice of the instrument for measuring job satisfaction. As a result, the different scales of job satisfaction analyzed do not operationalize the same definition of job satisfaction. |
