This idea, also found in Fisher’s assertion about attitude-behaviorcompatibility, that “general satisfaction measures should be related to the favorableness or
unfavor a bleness of an individual’s total set of work-related behaviors” (1980: 607), has not been fully tested. If
this idea were correct, as researchers define behavioral criteria at increasingly higher levels of abstraction (e.g., actions contributing to aspects of one’s job or work role), the empirical connection between overall job attitudes and such criteria should become stronger.In keeping with the compatibility principle, Judge and colleagues (2001) disregarded effects of job facet satisfaction and concluded that overall satisfaction had a much stronger meta-analytic relationship with overall job performance than previously believed .
