Abstract: The current study examines rumination—a specific facet of perfectionism—and hypothesizes that higher levels of rumination intensify the negative relationship between organizational constraints and job satisfaction. Individuals living in India and having full-time employment in an organization participated via Amazon.com's Mechanical Turk (MTurk). A moderated multiple regression analysis was conducted to examine the potential moderating effects of rumination in the relationship between organizational constraints and job satisfaction. The results showed a moderate negative relationship between organizational constraints and job satisfaction, as expected, but no moderator effect of rumination, inconsistent with this study’s hypothesis. Sampling issues, methodological issues, and theoretical issues are discussed as possible explanations for the failure to identify the moderator role of rumination. Finally, a call for further research on the role of perfectionism in the workplace is emphasized.
