The potential role of self-control and psychological flexibility for job satisfaction among working people
Summary
Job satisfaction is an important part of quality of life and contributes to organizational success. The current study investigated the potential role of self-control and psychological flexibility as personal resources for job satisfaction. Both their independent role as well as the combination of self-control and psychological flexibility with regard to job-satisfaction were examined. Participants completed an online questionnaire. Only working people were included in this study (N = 235). Hierarchical regression analyses showed that neither self-control nor the interaction of self-control and psychological flexibility were associated with job satisfaction. Higher scores on psychological flexibility were significantly associated to job satisfaction. This finding is promising for using psychological flexibility to promote job satisfaction within organizations.
