DOI: 10.1177/1059601104269522 Group Task SatisfactionThe Groups Shared Attitude to its Task and Work EnvironmentQueensland University of Technology
Queensland University of Technology Group task satisfaction has been conceptualized as the group-level counterpart to individual job satisfaction and represents the groups shared attitude toward its task and work environment. This study investigated whether group task satisfaction would explain incremental variance in organizational citizenship behaviors, group performance, and absenteeism norms, after the variance explained by aggregated individual job satisfaction and group affective tone was taken into account. Survey data were collected from 66 work groups and 51 supervisors. Measures of group task satisfaction explained unique variance in ratings of citizenship behavior and absenteeism norms but did not explain unique variance in ratings of group performance. Our findings support the validity and utility of group task satisfaction and illustrate the importance of assessing group-level constructs directly.
