Title: | JOB DESIGN AND MOTIVATION | Authors: | YAM WENG WAH | Issue Date: | 1989 | Citation: | YAM WENG WAH (1989). JOB DESIGN AND MOTIVATION. ScholarBank@NUS Repository. | Abstract: | The Job Characteristics Model specifies the conditions under which individuals will become motivated to be effective on their jobs. The model focuses on job dimensions that can create the necessary psychological states which will motivate the employees to perform effectively on their jobs. Individual differences and context satisfaction affect how positively a person will respond to the enriched jobs. The model was tested using 200 employees mainly from the teaching profession in two major learning institutions. Generally, the results were consistent with the theory with context satisfaction being the major moderator. The effects of job dimensions on role ambiguity and role conflict were also examined. The results indicated that job dimensions correlated with role ambiguity are negatively and positively correlated with role conflict. Context satisfaction like pay satisfaction, satisfaction with supervisor and co-workers have significant moderating effects on the relationship between role ambiguity and general & growth satisfaction. | URI: | https://scholarbank.nus.edu.sg/handle/10635/162965 |
