Abstract
Ss were placed in apparent 3-person communication structures in which written notes were used to create illusions of centrality (or peripherality) and of autonomy (or dependence). A simple task was given requiring coordination of the Ss' activities. Results indicate that“positional autonomy is a major determinant of job satisfaction in task-oriented groups.” The relationship between autonomy and job satisfaction seems to be mediated by satisfaction of a need for autonomy.
