✦ Synopsis
Ninety working adults completed the OASQ --an occupational attributional style questionnaire aimcd specifically at examining attributions for work-related events. They also completed well-known and validated measures of job satisfaction and intrinsic motivation. The OASQ was shown to have satisfactory internal reliability. Attributions for positive events, rather than negative events, were significantly correlated with demographic variables like occupational status and salary but also job satisfaction and motivation. The study supports previous work to the effect that an 'optimistic' internal attributional style at work is associated with satisfaction and motivation. 24.2.18 (128474)
