Table 6 presents the means and standard deviations of
the Job Diagnostic Survey across the 876 jobs in the
sample. The scale means obtained are across all employees
and are very similar to those obtained when averages were
computed across all jobs. This indicates that the different
numbers of respondents who held the various jobs did not
substantially affect the mean scale scores.
Means of several of the scales reported in Table 6
deviate from those presented in the 1974 report of Hackman
and Oldham. The means of skill variety, feedback from
agents, dealing with others, general satisfaction, internal
motivation, and would-like growth-need strength were
somewhat higher than originally reported, while the means
for task identity feedback from job, knowledge of results,
social satisfaction, and supervisory satisfaction were
somewhat lower.
The patterns of the intercorrelations were similar to
those reported by Hackman and Oldham (1974), although the
overall level of relationship in the across-job analysis
was higher than in the across-respondent analysis. The five
core job dimensions of skill variety, task identity, task
significance, autonomy, and feedback, were moderately
intercorrelated, as had been found in previous research37
