Job Context Factors and Productivity

Michael M. Gruneberg and David J. Oborne

Chapter 4 in Industrial Productivity, 1982, pp 53-83 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract The previous chapter dealt with the relationship between productivity and aspects of the job itself. Factors such as achievement, recognition and feedback were examined in order to assess their relevance to productivity. In contrast such factors as pay, supervision and so on have been described as context factors. Whilst much work in organisational psychology has focused on content factors, few psychologists would deny the importance of context factors in an understanding of psychological aspects of productivity. In this chapter, therefore, the main context factors will be considered. These are pay, work groups, supervision, participation in decision-making, role strain,organisational structure and climate, and hours of work.
