- Abstract
-
Job autonomy has been found to be an important factor in job performance and job satisfaction. However, the question of whether permitted job autonomy is related to autonomy need of the employee is less well investigated. This study was designed to assess the determinants of the perceived deficiency of autonomy (PDA) of school administrators. Using an Israeli sample, it was found that a combination of sex, professional orientation, and socioeconomic status are the best predictors of the PDA (as criterion). The educational policy implication is that job autonomy may have an effect upon job performance and satisfaction only if it is matched with perceived need of autonomy.
