Job Characteristics as Predictors of Work Motivation and Job Satisfaction of Bank Employees

Abstract

The current study investigated job characteristics as predictors of work motivation and job satisfaction in bank managers. A purposive sample of 150 male managers from various banks of Rawalpindi city was drawn. Job diagnostic survey, work preference inventory, and job satisfaction subscale of Michigan organizational assessment questionnaire were used for measuring job characteristics, work motivation, and job satisfaction respectively. Zero order correlation revealed positive and significant relationship among various job characteristics, work motivation, and job satisfaction. Multiple regression analyses revealed that job characteristics constituted significant models for predicting intrinsic motivation, extrinsic motivation, and job satisfaction. Task identity turned out to be the most important positive predictor of job satisfaction and intrinsic motivation whereas extrinsic motivation was only predicted by feedback. The findings have been discussed and suggestions for future studies have been proposed.
