Abstract

Eighty-three information systems professionals were randomly selected from a US state government agency, three information consulting firms and five FORTUNE 1000 firms. Multiple regression analyses were used to assess how age, career stage, most realistic position in five years, and such work environment factors as feedback, task independence, task identity, variety, uncertainty and autonomy contribute to job satisfaction, job commitment and job involvement. It was found that about 49 percent of variation of satisfaction, 55 percent of variation of commitment, and 21 percent of involvement could be explained in the multivariate regressional models
