Download or read book Factors Affecting Public Service Motivation written by Samia Shaikh and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 38 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study examined public service motivation (PSM) in public sector and private sector organizations, and various factors that were found to influence PSM. Furthermore, we also analyzed the effect of PSM on employees' job satisfaction (JSA) for both sectors. The factors identified were rewards, working relations, career growth (CGA), Job Security (JSE) and workplace attributes (WPA). Data was collected from close ended likert scale type questionnaire. A sample of 220 professionals from various fields of private sector and 200 government sector employees were used to test a partial mediation model using structural equation modeling. Independent Samples T-test was done to compare the means of variables in public and sectors. Findings showed that there was no significant difference among rewards, PSM, JSE and working relations of public and private sector employees. However, there was a significant difference between JSA, WPA and CGA. The findings also suggested that Rewards (whether intrinsic or extrinsic) and Workplace attributes had no significant impact on the job satisfaction and public service motivation of public and private sector employees, whereas working relations, career growth opportunities and job security play a vital role in public service motivation and job satisfaction level of employees as these have significant impact to job satisfaction, with PSM as a mediating factor. These results have implications for managers who are interested in improving Human Resource Practices in Public Sector Organizations and private sector organizations. As investments in HPHRPs are positively associated with PSM and desirable employee outcomes, managers should endeavor to ensure that sufficient resources are allocated to implement HR practices.

Download or read book Factors Influencing Job Satisfaction in an Australian Public Sector Workplace During Periods of Significant Organisational Change written by Philip John West and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is a significant body of literature relating to the impact of change upon an organisation, presented from the managers' perspective. By comparison, there is only a relatively small body of work focused on how organisational change impacts non-managers, even though they are most often the largest group affected. To address this imbalance, this research explores the perspectives of both the managers and the non-managers in an Australian public sector organisation during a period of significant organisational change. Specifically, this study explored the influencers on job satisfaction, a positive outcome measure, related to job engagement, positive employees, and positive organisational change (Amiot, Terry et al., 2006; Avey, Wernsing, & Luthans, 2008; Nguyen, Teo, & Pick, 2017; Teo, Pick, & Xerri, 2016); rather than focusing upon negative outcomes such as change resistance. The study adopted a conceptual model considering the influence of organisational context, employees' attitudes, organisational processes and hierarchical level. A concurrent mixed-methods approach was adopted for the research. Quantitative data were generated by means of a survey, which focused on personal factors that influenced job satisfaction, whereas qualitative data, collected through interviews, were generated by the respective interviewees' change analysis frameworks. The quantitative data were statistically analysed, and relationships explored using Structured Equation Modelling (SEM), and the qualitative data were analysed according to the general principles of grounded theory. The quantitative data and SEM analyses found that both managers and non-managers reported relatively high levels of job satisfaction during this period of significant organisational change. It was also found that the associations between the context, personal attitude and attribution factors, and job satisfaction were strikingly similar for the different hierarchical levels. The qualitative phase of the study identified five organisational influencers upon job satisfaction for both managers and non-managers: communication, connectedness, standardisation, customer orientation, and leadership. There were, however, subtle differences between how these influencers impacted job satisfaction for each of the hierarchical levels. The identified hierarchical differences in job satisfaction influencers were seen to be linked to their respective job roles, and the hierarchical similarities to be associated with common organisation-wide roles. The research results suggest that acknowledging and working with these hierarchical differences and similarities has the potential to enhance the effectiveness of change initiatives.

Download or read book Federal Employee Satisfaction written by Nicole C. Phillips and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 57 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Previous scholarship has identified employee job satisfaction as an important driver in executing organizational objectives and satisfied employees are often productive employees, engaging in positive behaviors that help to accomplish the larger mission of the organization in which they work. Employee compensation (pay and benefits), opportunities for workplace advancement, and the utilization of the employee's knowledge, skills, and abilities as tested as the primary factors that exert an influence on public employee job satisfaction. Multivariate regression analysis of these variables strongly supports the original research hypotheses and strong positive relationships are observed between public employee job satisfaction and compensation, opportunities for workplace advancement, and utilization of knowledge, skills, and abilities. Opportunities for the federal government to better utilize this information and produce more satisfied public servants are discussed.

Download or read book The Impact of Generational Differences on Job Satisfaction in the Public Sector written by Jeehae Choe and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 27 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The study presented in this proposal examines the impact of cross-generational differences on job satisfaction in a large public sector organization. Although there has been substantial research done on job satisfaction among employees in the private sector, there is little research done within the public sector. Understanding the different generations can significantly impact how organizations address particular issues concerning job satisfaction within the workplace to be effective. A large organization such as the Department of Public Social Services (DPSS), employing workers from multiple generations, is inevitably going to have certain obstacles to face regarding job satisfaction among the workers. This paper will provide a literature review to help further explain the topic and will also explain the research design chosen for this study and possibly answer the research question, does generation affect job satisfaction in the public sector?
