Job Motivating Potential Score and Its Relationship with Employees' Organizational Commitment among Health Professionals

Testing the Mediation Effect of Supervisor Ethical Leadership on the Relationship between Job Motivating Potential and Employee Pay Satisfaction and Job Satisfaction. (c2020)

“…This can be explained by the fact that a motivating job is often a source of intrinsic motivation which generates a degree of satisfaction that can overcome the potential negative effects of the dissatisfaction with the pay scheme. Previous studies have found that a sound job design which provides employees with ample opportunities to apply their skills and abilities, to act in autonomous manners and to view their tasks as important for the organization raises employee satisfaction, including the satisfaction with pay (Bahrami et al, 2016). Thus, the confirmation of the first hypothesis simply proves that the results of previous studies which were performed in other countries are also entirely valid in the case of Lebanon.…”

“…Each job has a unique set of characteristics that either motivate or demotivate the employees performing the job. Previous studies have shown that skill variety, task identity, task significance, autonomy and feedback have a significant influence on the degree to which employees feel satisfied with their work (Bahrami et al, 2016). Since employee pay satisfaction is part of the overall satisfaction felt by the employees, the same positive relationship between job motivating potential and employee pay satisfaction was found (Gagne & Deci, 2005).…”

“…In light of the available studies, I believe that supervisor ethical leadership will prove to be a good mediator between job motivating potential and employee pay satisfaction. The concept of job motivating potential is based on the analysis of several characteristics related to job design which include the relationship between supervisors and employees especially in what regards employee autonomy and the quality of the feedback received (Bahrami et al, 2016). In addition, studies have shown that employee pay satisfaction is influenced by the employee' evaluation of the fairness with which rewards are allocated within the organization and of the respect with which they are treated by their superiors when they voice their concerns about the pay scheme (Jung & Yoon, 2016).…”

“…For the purposes of the present study, job motivating potential is defined as the index which predicts the employees' evaluation of the job design as reflects in their behavior at work (Bahrami et al, 2016). There are several characteristics of the job design which influence the way in which employees behave (i.e., their level of motivation) and these include task identity, task significance, skill variety, autonomy and feedback (Bahrami et al, 2016).…”

To measure the job motivating potential I have adopted the scale developed by Hackman and Oldham (1976) which takes into account the array of job design characteristics that influence the degree to which employees are motivated at work.…”
