Job Satisfaction
Every factor researchers have brought together to explain job satisfaction, combined from 15 study models into one ranked driver set — the model the priority engine reasons over.
42 drivers · 15 contributing models · Handbook entry →
§1The drivers, by consensus
Ranked by how many independent models include each driver (consensus), then pooled effect. “In N of 15” is a robustness signal — a driver in many models is one many researchers agreed matters; a driver in one is a single lead worth following.
“Pooled r” is the meta-analytic prior where one exists; drivers marked study-reported have a model but not yet a pooled prior — a concrete acquisition target. This is the value-of-information view in miniature: the priority engine can rank which driver to measure first by consensus, strength, and how much is still unknown.
§2The models it’s built from
Each contributing study model — the researcher’s theory of this outcome — with its size and grade, so the meta-model is auditable back to its sources.
