| Summary: | Attitude data were obtained from 556 employees in a western telephone company. Respondents held one of sixteen "craft" jobs in the department selected for study. Multiple discriminant function analysis was performed using sixteen groups formed on the basis of subjects' job titles. Variables used in this primary analysis included job satisfaction, organizational commitment, motivational force, and sources of organizational attachment. Discriminatory power for the sixteen group solution was 0.65. A secondary analysis was performed in which discriminant function means were related to means of jobs on several job characteristics variables. These two analyses, viewed jointly, suggest that the relatively high discriminatory power achieved in the primary analysis may have been a function of job scope/job attitude relationships demonstrated in the secondary analysis.
