Within-occupation sources of variance in Incumbent Perception of Job Complexity
نویسندگان
چکیده
This study shows that, when occupational complexity is controlled for, intelligence has a signi cant positive eVect on Incumbent Perception of Job Complexity (IPJC), in contrast to the negative eVect it has on job satisfaction. This result is interpreted to imply that a signi cant portion of the within-occupation variance in IPJC re ects true variance in job complexity. Implications for the measurement of job complexity and for the processes that determine job complexity are discussed.
