SATISFACTION SCALE

The Job Satisfaction Scale consists of the same job motives as The Job Motivation Scale. But while the strength of job motives can not be rated with an absolute scale (only relative - by ranking) job satisfaction can be. In The Job Satisfaction Scale a simple 5-point scale is used. Rating 5 means high satisfaction with the particular item, 3 means a neutral point and 1 means high unsatisfaction.
