Distilling the vast literature on this frequently studied variable in organizational behaviour research, Paul E Spector provides the student and professional with a pithy overview of the application, assessment, causes and consequences of job satisfaction. In addition to discussing the nature of and techniques for assessing job satisfaction, the author summarizes the findings concerning how people feel towards work, including: cultural and gender differences in job satisfaction and personal and organizational causes; and potential consequences of job satisfaction and dissatisfaction. Students and researchers will particularly appreciate the extensive list of references and the Job Satisfaction Survey included in the Appendix.

This review is from: Job Satisfaction: Application, Assessment, Causes, and Consequences (Advanced Topics in Organizational Behavior) (Paperback)
If you're looking for a quick and easy read on job satisfaction, then this is the right book for you. It's relatively short, but provides a core understanding of its topic material. Worked fine for me as one of my resources for my masters thesis. Several other texts and journals use information from this author.
