TO GRIEVE OR NOT TO GRIEVE: FACTORS RELATED TO VOICING DISCONTENT IN AN ORGANIZATIONAL SIMULATION

Abstract

This paper examines the relation between several attitudinal and performance measures and the decision to file a grievance in an organizational simulation. Results were consistent with predictions derived from previous research. Employees who valued their compensation and were satisfied with their performance were likely to file a grievance against their manager. Conversely, employees who were highly satisfied with their job and judged the selection process and performance evaluation systems to be fair were not likely to file a grievance. Implications of these results for future research are discussed.
