Validity is the extent to which a measure or a question accurately captures the intended concept or construct1. The question “What is your salary?” is not a valid measure of job satisfaction, as it does not reflect the various aspects of job satisfaction, such as work environment, recognition, autonomy, growth, etc. Salary is only one possible factor that may influence job satisfaction, but it is not a direct or comprehensive indicator of it23. Therefore, the question is not valid for measuring job satisfaction.
