The Relationship between Work Motivation and Job Satisfaction
Research
Measures
A demographic form was filled by the participants,
which included information about age, gender, qualification,
length of service, designation, and marital status.
The Motivational at Work Scale (MAWS; Gagné, M.,
et al., 2010). The MAWS consists of 12 items. Each subscale
consists of three items i.e. Intrinsic (item 4, 8, & 12), Identified
(item 3, 7, & 11), Introjected (item, 2, 6, & 10), and extrinsic (item
1, 5, & 9).The rating scale range from 1= not at all; 2= very little;
3 = a little; 4 = moderately; 5 = strongly; 6 = very strongly; 7=
exactly. MAWS was found to be internally consistent at the
level of = .824.
The Job Satisfaction Survey (JSS; Spector, 1997) is a
nine-subscale measure of employee job satisfaction. The nine
facets are 1) pay, 2) promotion, 3) supervision, 4) fringe benefits,
5) contingency rewards, 6) operating conditions, 7) coworkers,
8) nature of work, and 9) communication. The JSS consists of 36
items to be rated by participants on a 6-point likert format
response scale (i.e., disagrees very much, disagree moderately,
disagree slightly, agree slightly, agree moderately, and agree very
much). In the present study, JSS found to be internally consistent
at the level of = .759.
Procedure
The questionnaires were distributed to respondents and
they completed the questionnaire manually. The data was
collected individually. At the beginning of each questionnaire,
an overview was provided. All respondents must fill a
demographic form which includes information on age, gender,
qualification, length of service, designation, and marital status.
The researcher gave directions for the Motivational at Work
Scale (2010) first and then for the Job Satisfaction Survey (1997).
