摘要

This paper examines the impact of workload demands on job satisfaction at different levels of job control.Thirty-seven non-profit employees in New York City participated in this cross-sectional survey study.Drawing on conservation of resources theory,the study examines whether the hypothesized relationship of workload demands at work with job satisfaction is moderated by job control.This cross-sectional survey research makes a unique contribution to the non-profit literature by uncovering the moderating role of job control for employees in emotionally challenging non-profit settings.We tested the hypothesized relationships using hierarchical regression.Results emphasize the significance of managing employees by providing higher levels of autonomy over their work during higher work demands.
