Abstract: | This study developed a decision tree framework to predict and distinguish employee responses to problematic working conditions. In this framework, job satisfaction and self-efficacy were antecedent variables; five responses from the modified EVLN typology were used as dependent variables. Data from 367 police officers in Taiwan were analyzed to examine the linear and quadratic relationships between job satisfaction and each of the five responses. The sample was further divided into six groups according to individual job satisfaction and self-efficacy. In each group, specific response patterns were analyzed through paired sample t-tests. The pattern analysis results partially supported the prediction of decision tree framework. |
