Rethinking Concepts of Job Satisfaction: The Case of Nebraska Municipal Clerks

Abstract

This study examined the job satisfaction and quality of work life of 117 municipal clerks from small cities in Nebraska. It found that the clerks had a high level of job satisfaction, even though the quality of work life was not high. Job satisfaction was found to be correlated with age, length of tenure, and education. The implications of these findings for future research are identified.
