Misleading headline. From the abstract of the underlying study:
"Interest fit significantly predicts overall job satisfaction."
What the article and the paper's abstract (because I didn't pay for it) say is that it IS a predictor, but not in the absence of other factors like a good culture.
Which makes sense- I love coding, but I've (thankfully rarely) been on dysfunctional teams. Despite still liking to code, I did not like my job when on a terrible team.
- SiVal 6y agoI believe the "significantly" in that claim was the statistical type, and the correct interpretation was, "The data show that interest does in fact affect job satisfaction, but not very much."
