Is Job Performance Affected By Job Motivation and Job Satisfaction?

Abstract

This study examines three variables: Job Motivation (X1 ) and Job Satisfaction (X2 ) as dependent variables, Organizational Commitment (Z) as an intervening variable, and Employees’ Performance (Y) as an independent variable. A total of 30 full-time staff-level employees participated in this study. The major hypotheses of the study were assessed through Path Analysis using SPSS 17.0 version. The result of this study showed that job motivation and job satisfaction have no significant influence toward employees’ performance, but does have a significant influence toward organizational commitment. It was also found that organizational commitment has a significant influence toward employees’ performance. This means that organizational commitment is a full mediation in this model of conceptual framework.
