Preliminary Examination

March and Simon's (1958) model of the decision to participate was examined empirically with a sample of professional, managerial and technical employees. The results provide partial support for the model. While confirming the importance of job satisfaction in predicting the propensity to leave, perceived ease of movement, intraorganizational movement possibilities, and the interaction of job dissatisfaction and ease of movement were also found to be significant independent contributors in explaining the employee’s propensity to leave.

Propensity To Leave

The present study examined the differential impact of types of role conflict upon job satisfaction, job-related anxiety, and propensity to leave the organization. Ill supermarket department managers responded to a mailed questionnaire containing role-conflict items and outcome measures. Factor analysis of the 8-item conflict scale resulted in three role-conflict dimensions: intersender, intrasender, and person-role. Stepwise regression analysis of each outcome variable on the three conflict subscales showed that the order in which conflict subscales entered the equation was different when different outcomes were the criterion. Use of subscales rather than a general conflict measure yields more information as to the nature and results of role stress.

PurposeThis paper aims to examines the relationships between various facets of salesperson job satisfaction as assessed by the INDSALES measure and salesperson organizational commitment. The paper also seeks to explore salesperson gender as a moderator of the relationship between facets of job satisfaction and organizational commitment.Design/methodology/approachThis study uses survey research of one firm's business‐to‐business salespeople to examine the relationships between facets of salesperson job satisfaction and salesperson organizational commitment.FindingsStudy results indicate that various facets of job satisfaction are more strongly related to organizational commitment. Findings also indicate that these relationships are not the same for male and female salespeople.Practical implicationsFindings demonstrate to sales managers that not all types of satisfaction are related to organizational commitment, which has been strongly linked to a salesperson's propensity to leave an organization. Further, various facets of satisfaction such as pay and promotion are more important to men than to women. Women find that satisfaction with co‐workers is more closely related to organizational commitment than it is for men. These findings have significant relevance to sales managers.Originality/valueThe relationship between facets of job satisfaction and organizational commitment has not been extensively researched. This is true even though these are two very important issues when dealing with sales force management. Likewise, the issue of men and women valuing different types of satisfaction to varying degrees has not been thoroughly examined in the business‐to‐business sales force literature.
