Dear Virginia,

i would really appreciate if once you summarize all the response you cna share them!!!

below are a couple of suggestions!


maybe you are interested at looking at "Do satisfied employees work harder".... it is available at http://www2.eur.nl/fsw/research/veenhoven/Pub1980s/89a-C9-full.pdf

Opinions about the consequences of happiness on work differ. There is no research on the effects of life-satisfaction on productivity but there is a lot of research on the link between job satisfaction and work performance. This research shows modestly positive correlations with productivity, absenteeism and labour turnover. These correlations tend to be stronger among white collar workers. It is still largely unclear to what extent satisfaction effects productivity or vice versa

Abstract


The job satisfaction–job performance relationship has attracted much attention throughout the history of industrial and organizational psychology. Many researchers and most lay people believe that a causal relationship exists between satisfaction and performance. In the current study, however, analyses using meta-analytic data suggested that the satisfaction–performance relationship is largely spurious. More specifically, the satisfaction–performance relationship was partially eliminated after controlling for either general personality traits (e.g., Five Factor Model traits and core self-evaluations) or for work locus of control and was almost completely eliminated after controlling for organization-based self-esteem. The practical and theoretical implications of these findings are discussed.

Dear Virginia



Here are a few relatively recent papers which focus on both satisfaction and commitment. I hope these are helpful.
