Abstract:
The increased use of attitude measures in time-based studies as either predictor or criterion necessitates an assessment of these measures stability retest reliability. The 16 month stability of the Job Descriptive Index Smith et al., 1969 was assessed by two administrations of the measure to a diverse sample of 847 Atlantic Coast Utility employees. Data analyzed within a Campbell and Fiske 1959 multitrait JDI Dimensions - multimethod time 1 time 2 administration matrix revealed good stability coefficients and also indicated that the five JDI satisfaction scales retain their relative independence over time. Some problems regarding the theoretical meaning of these results are briefly discussed.
