A task-level assessment of job satisfaction
Article Abstract:
Job satisfaction has traditionally been monitored at the level of the overall job. This approach, however, fails to take into account individual job components and their varying motivational and affective properties. To address this shortcoming, a task analysis method is developed to measure the time-allocation, importance, autonomy, attention demands, complexity and enjoyment accorded to individual tasks by employees in various jobs. Results show that task-level assessment measures psychological processes that differ from those measured by traditional global and facet measures.

Work-nonwork conflict and the perceived quality of life
Article Abstract:
The effects of work-nonwork conflict on quality of life was studied. Work-nonwork conflict arises from attempts to fulfill the demands of work role or nonwork roles or vice-versa. Nonwork demands include demands of the family or leisure. Results indicate that work-nonwork conflict is negatively corellated to quality of life in all social spheres. Also, any change in the perception of the quality of life will occur if there is a change in the perception of the quality of life determined by the work or nonwork.

The role of facet importance as a moderator in job satisfaction processes
Article Abstract:
Job satisfaction can be attributed to a worker's fulfillment of certain desired job facets and the value of specific job facets. Workers that place major importance on a job facet are more satisfied with what they perceive as a small have-want discrepancy and more dissatisfied with what they perceive as a large discrepancy than workers who view the facet as having low importance. The importance of a job facet affects the impact of the facet.
