Abstract
Although negotiation experiences can affect a negotiator's ensuing attitudes and behavior, little is known about their long-term consequences. Using a longitudinal survey design, we test the degree to which economic and subjective value achieved in job offer negotiations predicts employees' subsequent job attitudes and intentions to turnover. Results indicate that subjective value predicts greater compensation satisfaction and job satisfaction and lower turnover intention measured one year later. Surprisingly, the economic outcomes that negotiators achieved had no apparent effects on these factors. Implications, limitations, and future directions are discussed.
