| Summary | In this study, the authors examine the relationship between job complexity and job autonomy on satisfaction, turnover intentions, and psychological well-being. Results indicate job complexity and job autonomy interact and that their relationships with job-related outcomes are curvilinear. Job complexity is positively related to both desirable and undesirable work outcomes. However, the relationship between desirable outcomes and job complexity is maximized and the relationship between complexity and undesirable outcomes is minimized when autonomy is high. |
