Job compatibility questionnaire: the Job compatibility questionnaire (JCQ) was developed to determine whether an applicant preference for work match the characteristics of the job. The Job compatibility questionnaire is designed to collect information on the all aspects of a job which have a bearing on employee's performance, absenteeism, and turnover and job satisfaction. The underlying assumption of the Job compatibility questionnaire is that the greater the compatibility between an applicant's preferences for a job and the characteristics of the job as perceived by the job seeker, the greater the probability of employee effectiveness and longer the tenure. The Job compatibility questionnaire is a 400 item instrument that measures job factors which are related to the performance satisfaction turnover and absenteeism. Items cover the following job factors: task requirements, physical environment, customer characteristics, peer characteristics, leader characteristics, compensation preferences, task variety, job autonomy, physical demands, and work schedule. The JCQ is administered to the job seekers that are very familiar with either a specific position to be filled and / or a target job under study. Respondents are asked to indicate the extent to which each JCQ item is descriptive of the job or position under study.
