Abstract
Job satisfaction is one of the most researched outcomes within Industrial/Organizational psychology. The goal of this study was to examine whether the relationship between work setting, specifically, the amount of time an employee works in an office or from home, and job satisfaction is mediated by autonomy and belonging. One hundred and thirty employees were surveyed on Prolific regarding their job satisfaction, work setting, autonomy, and belonging. There were no significant hypothesized relationships between the variables within this study, although there were some significant correlations. This indicates that the relationships between work setting and job satisfaction are not mediated by autonomy and belonging.
