“…Assistance in this task is likely to come from the cognitive modeling work directed toward building mental maps cf the underlying dimensionality associated with various aspects of psychological space (Carroll, 1969;Green, 1969;Gould and White, 1974 For some recent and spirited views from this perspective see Sheppard and Herrick (1972); HEW Task Force Report (1973); Jenkins (1974);and Davis and Taylor (1972).…”

Three thousand five hundred subjects from four governmental organizations (two municipalities, one county, and one state) were interviewed to investigate the nature ofjob satisfaction in the public sector. The intent of the study is to examine the relationships between components of satisfaction and various conceptually objective design variables of the work environment including characteristics of the assigned tasks, work assistance, pay, promotions, and communications, among others. Using the techniques of multidimensional scaling and clustering, a tripart locus of work satisfaction is derived involving job properties, interactional features, and organizational policy variables. Each of the loci is shown to be analytically distinct and related to a specific set of design features. The implications of these findings for change programs such as job enrichment are subsequently discussed.

“…Or are there limits set by the socio-technical interaction between the variables? These issues require further exploration and link our area of research with the field of job design and the experiments with semi-autonomous work groups which are now developing very rapidly in a number of countries (Davis and Taylor, 1972;SSRC 1974).…”
