A sample of 93 meat-processing workers was subdivided on the basis of two measures of self-esteem, and supervisory ratings of performance were correlated with Job Descriptive Index measures of satisfaction. As predicted, self-esteem exercised a significant moderating effect on correlations between performance and intrinsic satisfaction, but not on correlations between performance and extrinsic satisfaction.

In a field study of over 300 employees with twoyear lagged turnover behavior data, we found strong contagion effects of peers' job satisfaction and voluntary turnover on the focal actors' job satisfaction and voluntary turnover, respectively. In addition, the integrated model revealed that the effect of social network contagion was almost equally as large as the effect of actors' own intentions to quit.

Four general categories of data were collected: (a) affiliation of investigators, (b) topic areas investigated, (c) settings of the research, and (d) research strategies employed. Four common beliefs of either laboratory or field advocates were contradicted by the data. First, laboratory research was found fairly frequently in the industrial-organizational literature. Second, theory and hypothesis testing were not overemphasized. Third, laboratory research was as applied as field research. Lastly, studies published by researchers with nonacademic affiliations were as likely to have been conducted in laboratory settings as field settings. Recommendations were made to use the laboratory more frequently for theory and hypothesis based research and to use a variety of research strategies in both laboratory and field settings. THE type of setting in which research is conducted has become an issue within several areas of psychology. Comparative psychologists (Miller, 1977), environmental psychologists (Proshansky, 1976), and social psychologists (Ellsworth, 1977; McGuire, 1967; Ring, 1967) have debated the merits of the laboratory and the field as settings for ' The authors would like to thank John Dzamba, Claude Mattox, Brian Robinson, and William Wratten for their assistance with the data analysis and David Ralston for contributing important writing suggestions. Portions of this paper were presented at the meeting of the Midwestern Psychological Association, Chicago, May, 1977.
