In value-percept theory, the strongest sense of dissatisfaction is created when there are <u>major</u> differences between "wants" and "haves" and when the value in question is <u>important</u>.
The value-percept theory is a theory of job satisfaction which states that job satisfaction is based on whether a particular job is able to supply those needs dear to an individual. Based on this theory, dissatisfaction is higher when there is a great difference between what the individual want what he or she has, that is the job is unable to meet or supply his or her wants. This is more pronounced if that want is important.
