Abstract

HIS SUBORDINATE’S A. P. O’REILLY The Agricultural Institute Dublin, Ireland MANYwriters have asserted that an individual derives satisfaction from tasks which permit him to use his skills and abilities. Maslow (1943), for example, stated: “A musician must make music, an artist must paint, a poet must write, if he is to be ultimately happy. What a man can be, he must be” (p. 382). In reviewing the literature on the affective consequences of a mismatch of abilities and job requirements Vroom (1964) noted that intelligence is negatively related to turnover on highly routine jobs (Kornhauser, 1922; Viteles, 1924; Kriedt and Gadel, 1953) and that this relationship becomes increasingly positive as the difficulty of the job increases (Bills, 1923). Brown and Ghiselli (1953) also found greater turnover among taxicab drivers with aptitude scores markedly above or below the average for their occupations; and Kephart (1948) found greater turnover in the job of lens inspector for persons with visual phorias. There is some evidence also t o support a slightly modified version of Maslow’s hypothesis, that persons experience greater job satisfaction when they believe that their jobs require abilities which they believe they possess (Brophy, 1959; Vroom, 1962; Kornhauser, 1964).
