Construct and Concurrent Validation of the Andrews and Withey Job Satisfaction Questionnaire

Two studies evaluating the psychometric properties of Andrews and Withey's (1976) overall job satisfaction questionnaire were performed. Study 1 found that the Andrews and Withey questionnaire correlated significantly with both the Job Descriptive Index (r = .70,p < .001) and the Minnesota Satisfaction Questionnaire (r = .70, p < .001). Study 2 found that the Andrews and Withey satisfaction scale was significantly correlated with job performance, organizational commitment, and turnover intentions.
