Some determinants of work performance in foodservice systems. Job satisfaction and work values of school foodservice personnel. 1979

D E Hopkins, and A G Vaden, and R E Vaden

Job performance, job satisfaction, and work orientation of 304 women foodservice employees in twenty-four schools in seven districts were examined. Work values and job satisfaction of school and hospital foodservice employees were also compared. Work values varied little between the two groups. The school employees, however, were more satisfied with their work, supervision, and co-workers than were the hospital employees. School employees were divided into high- and low-performance groups through supervisory ratings of six dimensions of performance. The high-performance group had significantly higher satisfaction scores than the low-performance group. The former group had been employed longer and worked more hours per day than the latter.
