Abstract

Hierdie studie is ontwerp om drie sentrale voorspellings van die omgewingsteorie oor werkstevredenheid te toets. Die skrywer kom o.a. tot die gevolgtrekking dat 'n algemener teorie van werkstevredenheid nodig is wat toon hoedat die werksomgewing met die individu se verwysingsraamwerk in wisselwerking is om gevoelens van werksbevrediging te ontwikkel. Volgens dr. Orpen behoort die bevindings van hierdie studie bestuurders tot versigtigheid te maan om Herzberg se twee-faktorteorie sonder meer te aanvaar.
