Longitudinal Examination of Workers’ Need Satisfaction Profiles and Their Implications: A Latent Transition Analysis

Résumé

This study examined workers’ need satisfaction profiles while considering the within-person and within-sample over-time stability of these profiles. We also explored how these profiles related to workers’ functioning and investigated the role of individual orientations in predicting profile membership. A sample of 1319 nurses completed all measures twice, over a three-month period. Latent profile analyses and latent transition analyses revealed four distinct need satisfaction profiles, which proved to be fully identical across measurement points: Globally Dissatisfied, Normative, Moderately Satisfied, and Globally Satisfied profiles. The standards dimension of perfectionism (i.e., high performance standards) predicted a higher likelihood of membership into the Globally Satisfied profile relative to all other profiles, and into the Moderately Satisfied profile relative to the Globally Dissatisfied and the Normative profiles. The discrepancy dimension of perfectionism (i.e., negative self- evaluation of performance and self-criticism) predicted a higher likelihood of membership into the Globally Dissatisfied profile relative to all other profiles and a higher likelihood of membership into the Normative profile relative to both the Moderately Satisfied and the Globally Satisfied profiles. The increasing structural resources dimension of job crafting predicted a higher likelihood of membership into the Normative profile relative to both the Globally Satisfied and the Globally Dissatisfied profiles. The increasing social resources dimension of job crafting predicted a lower likelihood of membership into the Globally Dissatisfied profile relative to all other profiles. The increasing challenging demands dimension of job crafting did not significantly predict likelihood of membership in any profile. Finally, the Moderately Satisfied profile was associated with the highest levels of vigor and job satisfaction, and the lowest levels of need for recovery, while the Globally Dissatisfied profile was associated with the most maladaptive functioning (i.e., low vigor and job satisfaction, and high need for recovery). Taken together, these results encourage organizations to make possible a balanced experience of need satisfaction (i.e., moderate-to-high levels of global need satisfaction coupled with moderate-to-high levels of specific need satisfaction) in order to allow for employee optimal functioning. Our results further show that perfectionism and job crafting, though they are somewhat associated with beneficial outcomes, do not necessarily lead -through need satisfaction- to the most optimal experience. We therefore invite employees, organizations, and practitioners to keep this limitation in mind when considering these traditionally valued individual orientations.
