A Longitudinal Investigation of Factors Mediating the Participative Decision Making Job Satisfaction Linkage

Multivariate Behavioral Research
J Schaubroeck, K R Jennings

Abstract

Recent research has attempted to identify mediators of the relationship between participative decision making (PDM) and job satisfaction. The importance of role perceptions and the performance-reward expectancy (E2) as plausible mediators have been established, but theorists have identified additional variables that may have rival or complementary mediational effects. This study identified the plausible mediators and conducted a covariance structure analysis using longitudinal data. Role ambiguity, perceived obstacles, and E2 appeared to partially mediate the relationship between PDM and job satisfaction.
