“…Intelligence was not significantly negatively correlated with satisfaction scores contrary to Bills (1923). Group size was also not significantly negatively correlated with satisfaction scores contrary to Frank and Anderson (1971), Shaw (1981) and Slater (1958).…”

“…Social interactions in groups are frequently characterized by conflicts between personal and collective interests (De Cremer and Leonardelli, 2003). Thus, it is not surprising that research has shown that smaller groups establish and maintain higher levels of communication (Lowry, Roberts, Romano, Cheney and Hightower, 2006) whereas larger groups have reported lower satisfaction (Frank and Anderson, 1971;Shaw, 1981;Slater, 1958;Worthy, 1950). As group size increases, almost every group experiences some degradation in group communication process due to social loafing (Chidambaram and Tung, 2005;Liden, Wayne, Jaworski, and Bennett, 2009).…”

“…Bills (1923) have suggested that, for simple and mundane jobs, intelligence may have a negative relationship with satisfaction. On the other hand, Frank and Anderson (1971), Shaw (1981) and Slater (1958) have suggested that group size has a negative relationship with satisfaction.…”

Most previous studies of Person-Environment fit have failed to use objective measures of the work environment that are independent of the person examined. The current research investigated the moderating role of group size (an objective measure obtained from company records), on the relationship between intelligence and pay satisfaction. The intelligence was measured as general intelligence or "g" and "reasoning". On the basis of data from 257 shop-floor workers in a factory, results indicated that group size moderated the relationship between intelligence and satisfaction with pay -the relationship was negative in large groups and positive in small groups.

Most previous studies of Person-Environment fit have failed to use objective measures of the work environment that are independent of the person examined. This study aims to further develop and improve the operationalisation of Person-Environment fit by investigating objective fit and by marrying concepts from Equity Theory (Adams, 1965). Equity sensitivity was measured as a personality trait by the 16PF (Cattel et al 1987) and group size (obtained from company records) was the objective measure of the work environment. On the basis of data from 257 shop-floor workers in a factory in Wales, UK, results of hierarchical multiple regression generally indicated that the relationship between sensitivity and pay satisfaction are moderated by group size such that the relationship is positive in small groups and negative in large groups.

“…Following each of the meetings, the groups were administered questionnaires in which they were required to make qualitative ratings regarding the encounters (Slater, 1958). From these findings and his observations, Slater concluded that "the tendency of small group members to respond with greater frequency to somewhat rose-colored bromides, springs not from satisfaction but from inhibition and constraint ... from an Differentiai Outcomes 5 unwillingness to tolerate the thought that even normal conflicts and dissatisfaction might arise in the group" (p. 134).…”

Participants were given a questionnaire, consisting of schematic drawings of children and adolescents in interindividual and intergroup contexts, to assess their perceptions about how their typical same-sex peers feel when they are experiencing relative success or failure in developmentally relevant domains. In Study 1, 192 participants in grade 4 and grade 10 came from mixed-sex schools. In Study 2, 173 participants in grades four, five and ten were recruited from same-sex schools. Results indicated that participants judged their typical same-sex peers to feel better when experiencing relative success in an intergroup as compared to interindividual context. In the same-sex schools participants also reported more positive feelings in an intergroup context when experiencing relative failure. Discussion centers on the implications for achievement and performance in educational contexts.
