Abstract
Results of a 2-part study (with 58 employees [Study 1] and 72 female clerical employees [Study 2] who completed job satisfaction and job diagnostic surveys) cast doubt on the generalizability of the social information processing (SIP) approach to job attitudes and job design, as enumerated by G. R. Salancik and J. Pfeffer (1977, 1978). Specifically, a manipulation that has been used successfully to confirm SIP theory in the laboratory did not produce changes in job attitudes and job perceptions when applied in an organizational setting.
