A recent study found that office workers who maintain tidy desks report greater job satisfaction than those whose desks are cluttered. On the basis of this finding, the researchers concluded that keeping one's desk tidy causes workers to feel more satisfied with their jobs.
Which one of the following, if true, most strengthens the researchers' argument?
- Most tidy-desk workers occupy private offices, while most cluttered-desk workers share crowded open workspaces.
- Among workers whose job satisfaction rose during the study for workspace-unrelated reasons, almost none subsequently made their desks tidier.
- Most workers surveyed agreed that a tidy desk is widely regarded as a mark of professionalism.
- Workers who keep tidy desks are absent from work less frequently than workers whose desks are cluttered.
- Workers whose job satisfaction increases typically respond by devoting additional time and effort to cleaning, organizing, and maintaining tidier personal workspaces.
