The series of tests using linear regression method were performed to test the stated hypotheses (results given in table 3). A significant and positive relationship was found between the job characteristics and the affective states of the employees with r =.509 and p-value < 0.01. The task autonomy, skills variety and task significance dimensions of the job characteristics showed significant positive relationship with emotional experiences of employees with p-values = .000, .006 and .033 respectively (Table 2). However, chance of working closely with others and job identity showed no significant impact on affective experiences of the workforce. Thus, hypothesis 1 accepted.
