Article Abstract:

While for disposition researchers, job satisfaction, is to a great extent a product of personality, as individuals vary in their responses to the same situation, o thers have taken an opposing view. A paper on this topic is presented in order to refute criticisms put on the dispositional approach. Two implications of the dispositional approach are considered. Firstly, dispositions do not constraint the effects of situations and that both can have important influences. Secondly, use of affective disposition measures for employee selection, outlining additional research to be done before organizations adopt this approach.
