Measures of Job Satisfaction, Organisational Commitment, Mental Health and Job related Well-being

Promoting the satisfaction, commitment, mental health and well-being of employees is important not only in itself, but also because evidence shows that those who are positive in these respects respond better to change and are more productive. Measures of Job Satisfaction, Organisational Commitment, Mental Health and Job-related Well-being is a unique source of benchmarking data across four widely used questionnaire methods, that provides up-to-date data drawn from 60,000 respondents in 170 organisations across a wide range of industries and occupations. The data is split by sector and occupational group, with the latter broken down further by age and gender, creating a must-have for those using these scales and seeking to benchmark their progress.

There is much evidence to suggest that those who are satisfied at work respond more positively to change than those who are unsatisfied, and that organizations report higher productivity where employees consider themselves satisfied.

This second edition of Measures of Job Satisfaction, Mental Health and Job-related Well-being: A Benchmarking Manual is a unique resource of benchmarking data for widely used questionnaire measures of job satisfaction. The benchmarking data is based on a sample of almost 60,000 respondents from 115 different organisations across a wide spectrum of industries and occupations. The data is presented for each measure by their subscales and/or main variants and is given by industrial sector, and by occupational group, broken down by age and gender.
