How satisfying are your work tasks? This assessment is designed to measure the five core job characteristics. Think of your current job or the last job that you held (even if it was a part-time or summer job). Answer each question using the response scale provided. Then use the formula to compute a satisfaction potential score (SPS). (Instructors: Assessments on growth need strength, emotional labor, flow, and positive emotionality can be found in the PowerPoints in the Connect Librarys Instructor Resources and in the Connect assignments for this chapter.)
