Job satisfaction correlated with Extraversion in the telemarketing group. Both groups? values on the Extraversion scale correlated... (More)

Results indicated that people working with telemarketing tend to be extrovert while people working with administration often are conscientious. Job satisfaction correlated with Extraversion in the telemarketing group. Both groups? values on the Extraversion scale correlated with job satisfaction, but when self-deception was inserted as a covariate the correlation disappeared. Furthermore, social desirability did show significant correlations with the total reaction time. (Less)
