Abstract

The aim of this paper is to identify the work characteristics with the highest impact on job satisfaction across a wide range of occupations and positions within Romanian companies. The empirical research had been carried out within the Global Work Design Project initiated by the Academy of Management HR Division, based on the work design questionnaire (WDQ) developed by Morgeson and Humphrey (2006). The Romanian sample consists of 394 employees from 69 organizations In our paper we construct the model of the typical Romanian job (with the average values of work characteristics) and identify the features which lead to high job satisfaction. Our findings have implications on companies’ HR strategies.
