Results tended to support the multidimensionality of job characteristics, but there was less convergence on the exact number of dimensions. Recent evidence, however, appears to suggest possible theoretical and methodological explanations for the inconsistent results of the job dimensionality. The corrected correlational results of the meta-analysis indicated that job characteristics related both to psychological and behavioral outcomes, although they exhibited stronger relationships with psychological outcomes. It was suggested that the difference in strength of these relationships might be, in part, a function of contextual factors inside and outside the organization. The results concerning psychological states tended to support their mediating (i.e., intervening) role between job characteristics and psychological outcomes, but not with performance. Moreover, the data provided only partial support for the pattern of correlations between the job characteristics and psychological states, as predicted by the model. The meta-analysis results further demonstrated that most of the cross-study variance was due to statistical artifacts. However clear true variance across studies was found for the job characteristics-performance relationship, and subsequent analyses suggested that growth need strength moderates this relationship.
