1.2. Job satisfaction
Traditional I–O psychology research has found that job satisfaction may be predicted by both individual differences and situational characteristics (e.g., Judge & Kammeyer-Mueller, 2012), resulting in three broad categories of predictors of job satisfaction: dispositional, situational, and dispositional-situational (or person-situation) interactive factors. Predictors of each type have been supported in the research literature on job satisfaction in traditional employment, but each of these approaches may manifest and operate differently in the MTurk work context.
