Abstract

The study reported here examines the extent to which variations in the perceptions of job characteristics may be associated, not with objective task characteristics, but with perceptual biases reflecting individuals' frames of reference and general job attitudes. The results show that perceptual assessments of task characteristics, vary with the individual's frame of reference and job attitudes.
