An experimental study was performed to investigate the impact of production feedback and standards, singly as well as jointly, as moderators of the worker job attitudes-productivity relationship in a repetitive production task. There was no substantial or consistent correlation between worker job attitudes and productivity and the correlation coefficient values in general were not statistically significant. The provision of production feedback and standards affected worker job attitudes and productivity differently and this in turn had an effect on the job attitudes-productivity relationship.
