2 IMPLICATIONS OF THE 2-FACTOR THEORY OF JOB SATISFACTION WERE DERIVED AND TESTED EMPIRICALLY USING DATA FROM 670 OFFICE EMPLOYEES, SUPERVISORS, AND EXECUTIVES EMPLOYED BY THE SAME COMPANY. RESULTS INDICATE THAT THE PREDICTIONS OF THE 2-FACTOR THEORY WERE PROVIDED NO SUPPORT. THE TRADITIONAL MODEL OF JOB SATISFACTION, WHICH HOLDS THAT ANY VARIABLE IN THE JOB SITUATION CAN BE BOTH A SATISFIER AND A DISSATISFIER AND THAT IF THE PRESENCE OF A VARIABLE TENDS TO MAKE A JOB DESIRABLE, THEN THE ABSENCE OF THE SAME VARIABLE MAKES A JOB UNDESIRABLE, WAS SUPPORTED.
