#Job characteristics model series
The researcher asked the respondents to rate the series of statement that evolve from their viewpoints of job characteristics and job satisfaction. The current study examines the effects of the five core job characteristics (skill variety, task significance, task identity, autonomy, and feedback). The five p o in t s likert -scales were used to the statements based on job characteristics and job satisfaction. About 20 years ago Turner and Lawrence (1965) published their book, Industrial jobs and the worker: An investigation of response to task attributes. 122 questionnaires were distributed to all the respondents. For this research, the population of 212 respondents who are from the managerial level from fast food outlet involved was being surveyed. The main objective of this study is to determine the relationship between job characteristics and job satisfaction among managers at fast food outlets and to determine which of the five dimensions of the job characteristics model contribute most to job satisfaction among fast food outlet managers. This study examined to give the picture about the application of Hackman and Oldham's job characteristics model to job satisfaction from the viewpoint of fast food outlet managers.
