The present investigation was designed to avoid both these deficiencies, and shows that higher‐order need strength moderates the relationship between job characteristics and job satisfaction. Comment is also offered on alternative statistical techniques for analysing data in which repeated measures of the moderator variable are used, or where the moderator is not linear in its effe
