Summary: | Functionalist theories of religion suggest that religion's integrating effects may lead to enhanced feelings about one's work. To test such an assertion data from a 1974 statewide study of Wisconsinites are used to examine religion's impact on two measures of job satisfaction. Because of its importance, job specialization is used as a control variable. The analyses disclose main effects of religious preference and functional specialization of work on each dependent variable. Interactive effects of religion and job specialization on intrinsic job satisfaction also are disclosed by analyses of variance. Implications of the findings are noted in conclusion. |
