| Annotation | Multilevel methods are used to investigate the effects of organisational context on job satisfaction and the intention to leave among staff working in long-term mental health care settings. A literature review indicates that most empirical research has investigated job satisfaction at the individual rather than the group level of analysis. The authors argue that the affective context of a group has real and measurable consequences for individual attitudes and behaviour, independent of individual attitudes towards the job. They use multilevel modelling to support the premise that group job satisfaction exercises effects on intention to quit independent of individuals' dispositions toward their jobs. These effects are both direct and interactive. (RH). |
