JSS Sharing of Results

The Job Satisfaction Survey, JSS is a copyrighted scale. You are welcome to use the JSS for free under two conditions.

1. The use is for noncommercial educational or research purposes. This means no one is charging anyone a fee.

2. You agree to share results with me. This is how I continue to update the norms and bibliography.

What Results Do I Need?

1. Means per subscale and total score

2. Sample size

3. Brief description of sample, e.g., 220 hospital nurses. I don't need to know the organization name if it is sensitive.

4. Name of country where collected, and if outside of the U.S., the language used. I am especially interested in nonAmerican samples.

5. Standard deviations per subscale and total score (optional)

6. Coefficient alpha per subscale and total score (optional)

I would love to see copies of research reports (thesis, dissertation, conference paper, journal article, etc.) in which you used the JSS. Summaries are fine for long documents (e.g., dissertation), and e-mailed documents are preferred if possible (saves copy and mail costs). Be sure to indicate how you want the work cited in the bibliography.

You can send the material to me via e-mail: pspector [at sign goes here] usf.edu or via regular mail: Paul Spector, Department of Psychology, PCD 4118, University of South Florida, Tampa, FL 33620 USA.
