Abstract

Driver shortages, recruitmnet and retention are well-documented problems in trucking. This study was an application of Herzberg's motivator-hygiene theory to measure job satisfaction within this industry segment. Data were collected through a questionnaire mailed a randomly selected sample of Iowa-licensed truck drivers. Through this increased understanding of what is considered satisfactory and unsatisfactory by drivers, employers may be better able to structure job descriptions, recruiting, and work assignments to attract and retain qualified drivers.
