Facilitating and inhibiting effects of job control and social support on stress outcomes and role behavior: a contingency model
Article Abstract:
Job control and support from supervisors and co-workers determine employee's job performance. Control over job outcomes can also be a predictor of subordinate performance, in addition to supervisor consideration. A positive relationship between consideration and performance outcomes, such as overall performance, extra-role behavior and conscientiousness, exists when control is low. A high level of job control and high support from co-workers and supervisors may enable an employee to face the challenges of the job.

The interactive effects of variety, autonomy, and feedback on attitudes and performance
Article Abstract:
A study was conducted to evaluate the effect of job dimensions of autonomy, variety and feedback on perceptions of job characteristics and on job outcomes. Manipulations and perceptions predicted satisfaction independently except for feedback level and one significant two-way interaction was observed. Increased autonomy led to increased satisfaction in a high variety task but not in a low variety task. There were also interactions between objective variety and autonomy and between autonomy and feedback.

Does trait affect promote job attitude stability?
Article Abstract:
The influence of trait affect on the stability of job attitudes over a seven-year time span is studied. Results show a relationship between the dispositional negative affect and job satisfaction over time while individuals who underwent job title changes exhibited less attitudinal stability. It is also proposed that individuals prone to job content change are prone dispositionally to job attitude change.
