    A review of literature found that while early research in the 1950s showed only a minimal relationship between job satisfaction and job performance, more recent studies have found at least some relationship. A meta-analysis across many studies in 1985 found a mean correlation of 0.17 between the two variables. There are also stronger relationships found depending on circumstances like mood and employee level. Judge et al. identified seven models that describe the relationship between job satisfaction and performance, including reciprocal and unidirectional models of the influences between the two.

    REVIEW OF LITERATURE

    Difficulties are meant to rouse, not discourage.


    The human spirit is to grow strong by conflict.

    William Ellery Channing, American, 1780-1842

    A lot of research has been conducted in the areas of job satisfaction and conflict resolution. In the
    field of Industrial/Organizational psychology, one of the most researched areas is the relationship
    between job satisfaction and job performance (Judge, Thoresen, Bono, & Patton, 2001). Landy
    (1989) described this relationship as the Holy Grail of Industrial psychology. Research linking
    job performance with satisfaction and other attitudes has been studied since at least 1939, with
    the Hawthorne studies (Roethlisberger & Dickson, 1939). In Judge et al. (2001), it was found by
    Brayfield and Crockett (1955) that there is only a minimal relationship between job performance
    and job satisfaction. However, since 1955, Judge et al. (2001) cited that there are other studies by
    Locke (1970), Schwab & Cummings (1970), and Vroom (1964) that have shown that there is at
    least some relationship between those variables. Iaffaldano and Muchinsky (1985) did an
    extensive analysis on the relationship between job performance and job satisfaction. Across their
    many studies, they found a mean correlation of .17 (Iaffaldano & Muchinsky, 1985). There are
    also stronger relationships depending on specific circumstances such as mood and employee
    level within the company (Morrison, 1997). Organ (1988) also found that the job performance
    and job satisfaction relationship follows the social exchange theory; employees performance is
    giving back to the organization from which they get their satisfaction.

    Judge et al. (2001) argued that there are seven different models that can be used to describe the
    job satisfaction and job performance relationship. Some of these models view the relationship
    between job satisfaction and job performance to be unidirectional, that either job satisfaction
    causes job performance or vice versa. Another model states that the relationship is a reciprocal

    one; this has been supported by the research of Wanous (1974). The underlying theory of this
    reciprocal model is that if the satisfaction is extrinsic, then satisfaction leads to performance, but
