Answer to Question 1

Intuitively, most people believe that job satisfaction is positively associated with job performance. Surprisingly, the results of research indicate that job satisfaction is not strongly related to job performance; at best, there is a very weak positive relationship. One recent review of the many studies conducted in this area concluded that levels of job satisfaction accounted for only about two percent of the differences in performance levels across employees in the studies reviewed. For all practical purposes, then, we can conclude that job satisfaction is not meaningfully associated with job performance.

Answer to Question 2

The steady-state theory of job satisfaction proposes that each worker has a characteristic level of job satisfaction called the equilibrium level. Different situations or work events may temporarily move a worker from this equilibrium level, but the worker will eventually return to it.
