A Study of Rewards and Job Satisfaction of On-Campus Student Employees

This study focuses on Organizational Behavior regarding student employment. We found that although students felt financial rewards from on-campus employment to be more important than social and growth rewards, it was social and growth rewards that greatly affects general job satisfaction. Our study also found that the impact of social rewards on job satisfaction was stronger for students who received work study aid (financial aid) and who were in managerial positions than those who did not receive work study aid and who were in non-managerial positions. Theoretical and practical impli-cations were discussed.
