A new concept of job satisfaction demands an independent measure of two components of job satisfaction (its emotional and cognitive aspects). A classification of techniques for assessing the cognitive aspect of job satisfaction is made and their usefulness for study of different topics is presented. The Satisfaction With Job Scale allows to measure the cognitive aspect of overall job satisfaction. The paper indicates the sources of construction of The Satisfaction With Job Scale. It comprises the technique description, its psychometric properties and validity scores in a heterogeneous group, as well as in four categories of job. The internal reliability of the scale is high – in the heterogeneous group Cronbach’s Alpha is 0,864 (in four groups: 0,814–0,888). The scale has a one-dimensional structure: Factor analysis (principal components) yields one component with eigenvalue exceeding unity which accounted 65,5% of the total variance in the whole group (in four groups: 58,5%–69,8%). The scale shows high convergent validity with other measure of cognitive aspect of job satisfaction and discriminant validity in relation to measures of emotional aspects of job satisfaction and to cognitive aspect of overall life satisfaction. The data show that The Satisfaction with Job Scale is a valuable instrument for measure of overall job satisfaction.
The purpose of the research was to explore if there are differences in visual and spatial functions in a group of drivers with regard to the male/female sex. It has been assumed that the sex as well as ability of driving a car, are in connection with efficiency of visual and spatial functions. In the research, using the IPP test, it has been taken into consideration differences between participants with regard to the biological as well as psychological gender. There were 60 people who participated in the research: age between 20 and 45. The participants were people who possessed a driving license and people who are unable to drive a car. Visual and spatial functions were tested by the test of Spatial Imagination, the R-W Test and the Poppelreuter’s Test. The reqults indicate that men are more efficient than women as regards visual and spatial functions. However, the relation between ability of driving a car and efficiency of visual and spatial function has not been confirmed.
