Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Research shows that employees who have discretion over their work output (such as autonomy, decision-making authority, and task variety) are more likely to experience higher job satisfaction, and in turn, they tend to be more productive. On the other hand, job satisfaction does not have a significant effect on job performance in jobs that require continuous direct supervision, as these jobs often involve repetitive and unchallenging tasks that do not provide employees with a sense of meaning and control. Emotional intelligence may have a positive correlation with job satisfaction, but it is not a prerequisite for the relationship between job satisfaction and productivity.
