Abstract
This study reviewed the compensatory, spillover, and segmentation models for explaining the relationship between life, or non-job, satisfaction and job satisfaction. A fourth model, the factor spillover model was proposed and tested with the other three using a sample of 130 workers from a variety of white and blue collar jobs. The results suggested that non-job satisfaction, like job satisfaction, is factorally complex. Some non-job satisfaction factors were moderately correlated with job satisfaction while other were not correlated at all, providing support for the factor spillover model. Seven moderating variables, including gender, were tested; none produced differential effects on the job and non-job satisfaction relationship. Implications of the factor spillover model were discussed and suggestions made for further research.
