JOURNAL ARTICLE ABSRACT

Literature indicates that monetary reward or compensation impacts on the level


of attraction, motivation, job satisfaction and retention of employees. The
elements of compensation include salary, bonuses (allowances), gratuity and
pension. The purpose of this study is to investigate how these four elements of
compensation specifically influence the attraction, motivation, job satisfaction
and retention of public sector construction employees of Jigawa State of Nigeria
to inform how their employer can raise the current levels of satisfaction and
retention of employees.
Self-determination theory (SDT), offers a theoretical framework for enhancing
employee motivation and stimulating positive outcomes such as commitment,
well-being and engagement, in organizations. This paper aims to investigate the
application of SDT among leaders and delineate practical managerial approaches
for supporting basic psychological needs in the workplace.
The purpose of this paper is to examine the relationships between sales
managers’ authentic leadership style and salespeople’s positive development.
The purpose of this research is to better understand the human aspects of open
innovation in small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) by exploring how
intrinsic and extrinsic motivation influence enjoyment in helping others,
knowledge sharing and knowledge hiding and consequently firms' open
innovation.
A lack of knowledge exists about the process whereby incentives are filtered
through organizations to influence staff motivation, and the key role of managers
is often overlooked. The purpose of this paper is to explore the strategies
managers use as intermediaries between financial incentives and the individual
motivation of staff. The authors use empirical data from a local case in Swedish
specialized care.
The purpose of this paper is to explore the impact of human resource (HR)
management practices on achieving competitive advantage through studying the
mediating role of employee satisfaction in the context of five-star hotels in
Northern Cyprus.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the impact of motivation and organization
citizenship behavior on performance of employees at PT. Bank Aceh Syariah
Lhokseumawe. The research was conducted at Bank Aceh Syariah located at
Lhokseumawe. The population in this research were all members of the
employees at Bank Aceh Syariah Lhokseumawe (146 employees), the samplesof
this research were 74 employees at Bank Aceh Syariah Lhokseumawe.
The purpose of this paper is to explore the effects of job satisfaction practices for
public sector employees through a cross-national approach.
The purpose of this paper is to investigate the underlying reciprocity mechanism
which governs the relationship between employer and employee at their
workplaces in a perspective whereby intrinsic and extrinsic factors of job
satisfaction are considered as proxy to organizational offerings, while multi
overall job satisfaction and dimensional organizational commitment as
employee’ attitudinal reaction to the organizational offerings
While job insecurity generally impedes performance, there may be circumstances
under which it can prompt performance. The purpose of this paper is to examine
a specific situation (reorganization) in which job insecurity may prompt task and
contextual performance. The authors propose that performance can represent a
job preservation strategy, to which employees may only resort when supervisor-
issued ratings of performance are instrumental toward securing one’s job. The
authors hypothesize that because of this instrumentality, job insecurity will
motivate employees’ performance only when they have low intrinsic motivation,
and only when they perceive high distributive justice.
The aim of this paper is to show the ways of setting quality objectives, their
attributes and the conditions under which they can perform a motivational
function.

The study seeks to analyze concepts of “career grades” and “job


grading,” to highlight their importance and objectives for the efficiency
of administrative systems. In addition, it identifies the international
standards that can be used to draw grading systems. It explores the most
important types of grade structures. It also clarifies grading systems in
the Egyptian administrative system. It indicates some methods that can
be considered a form of career progression.
The aim of this paper is to show the ways of setting quality objectives,
their attributes and the conditions under which they can perform a
motivational function.
Following Reichheld and Sasser’s (1990) seminal article, companies
have started paying more and more attention to managing relationships
with existing customers. After almost 25 years since this publication,
securing customer retention seems to be an even more urgent task.
According to KPMG’s Global Consumer Executive Top of Mind survey,
90 percent of consumer goods and retail senior executives are concerned
with customer loyalty (KPMG, 2017). It comes as no surprise that
companies are introducing loyalty programs (LPs) to enrich relationships
with their customers and build up more business value from a loyal
customer base (Viswanathan et al., 2017). However, to develop and
maintain a LP means a considerable and long-term commitment to a
company’s budget. Recent report by KPMG shows that a LP can cost a
company as much as 5 percent of sales (KPMG, 2016) thus, it is crucial
to understand how LPs can influence on company performance (Bijmolt
et al., 2010; Breugelmans et al., 2015) and drive sales (Lal and Bell,
2003; Taylor and Neslin, 2005).
The purpose of this study was to investigate the role of human
resource management and employee job satisfaction in predicting
organizational commitment in the Saudi Arabian banking sector. In
almost all organizations, there is a report of its mission stating that
people are the most valuable resource. To achieve its goal, survive
and succeed, any organization should have the right personnel at
the right place and at the right time (Oladipo, 2011). Banking
organizations, as well as other types of business organizations,
depend largely on the quality and competence of its employees.
Therefore, organizations have to pay more attention to their human
resources, because implementation of human resource practices
supports maximizing employees' competences in the organization
(Saleem and Khurshid, 2014). Human resource management
practices are able to create organizations that are characterized by
intelligence, flexibility and competence compared to their rivals.
These organizations apply policies and practices of recruiting,
selecting, training skilled employees. These employees in their turn
will direct their best efforts toward cooperation within the resource
bundle of their organization (Nancy, 2013).
This study attempts to illustrate how feeling a need to reciprocate,
those who experienced strong satisfaction with job characteristics
appear to have had a sense of moral duty to the organization can be
helpful in understanding the processes by which organizational
inducements exert their influence on other employee attitudes and
behaviors. Evidently, while the link between employees’
satisfaction with their job and high organizational commitment, on
the one hand, and low intentions to leave on the other is fairly
straightforward, yet there in need to study these variables as
exogenous and endogenous to inquire about their causation.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the simultaneous effect
of ethical leadership (EL) and corporate social responsibility (CSR)
on employees’ turnover intention and examine the mediating
mechanism in these relationships. Ethical leadership (EL) and
corporate social responsibility (CSR) have been linked to a variety
of meaningful outcomes for individuals and organisations (Glavas,
2016a; Ng and Feldman, 2015). What role do EL and CSR play in
employee retention? This question is important because of the costs
associated with employee turnover including lost human capital, the
need to recruit and train new employees and lowered service
quality (Allen et al., 2010; Hancock et al., 2013). Previous research
has found that CSR (Du et al., 2011; Carnahan et al., 2017; Stewart
et al., 2011) and EL (Demirtas and Akdogan, 2015; Palanski et al.,
2014) are associated with lower employee turnover, so this might
seem like a settled question. However, these studies have not
adequately examined both influences simultaneously. Writing about
the proliferation of research on ethics-related constructs and their
antecedents and consequences, Schminke and Sheridan (2017, p.
244) observed “[…] we know a lot about the many constructs that
matter in isolation but very little about which are really most
important”. Furthermore:
Research on employee turnover since L. W. Porter and R. M.
Steers's (see record 1974-04029-001) analysis of the literature
reveals that age, tenure, overall satisfaction, job content, intentions
to remain on the job, and commitment are consistently and
negatively related to turnover. Generally, however, less than 20%
of the variance in turnover is explained. Lack of a clear conceptual
model, failure to consider available job alternatives, insufficient
multivariate research, and infrequent longitudinal studies are
identified as factors precluding a better understanding of the
psychology of the employee turnover process. A conceptual model
is presented that suggests a need to distinguish between satisfaction
(present oriented) and attraction/expected utility (future oriented)
for both the present role and alternative roles, a need to consider
nonwork values and nonwork consequences of turnover behavior as
well as contractual constraints, and a potential mechanism for
integrating aggregate-level research findings into an individual-
level model of the turnover process. (62 ref) (PsycINFO Database
Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)
Turnover is a critical factor to the organizations, to individuals and
to the society and presents both positive and negative aspects
(Phillips and Connell, 2003). Although there are studies of turnover
in the last 30 years in behavioral area and human resources with
theories about voluntary resignation (Tett and Meyer, 1993;
Mobley, 1992; Lee and Mowday, 1987; Dalton and Todor, 1979;
Burguess et al., 2001), such as in labor economics area (Du et al.,
2006; O’Higgins, 2012), in Brazil they were identified as efforts
with works of Pinto and Gonzaga (2014) and Cardoso and Lage
(2007). However, the turnover in Brazil still has gaps in academic
research agenda (Campos and Malik, 2008; Menezes and Bastos,
2010). Market data, as studied by Corseuil et al. (2013), who
analyzed the Brazilian turnover from 1996 to 2010, corroborated
with the importance of the theme and its maintenance in research
agenda.
This study offers a global comparative analysis of variables
associated with job satisfaction, specifically work-life balance,
intrinsic and extrinsic rewards, and work relations on job
satisfaction for hotel housekeepers.
RESEARCH PROBLEM AND HYPOTHESES

The objective of this study and paper was to investigate the relationships between monetary rewards and employees’
attributes using
statistical methods in order to establish a more informed basis for remunerating the employees of the ‘Ministry of Works
and Transport of Jigawa State in Nigeria’ (MWT).
Hypothesis:
H1- The salary paid in this ministry has a positive impact
on workers’ retention. H2: The allowance paid in this ministry has a
positive impact on workers’ retention. H3- The gratuity payment after
retirement has a positive impact on workers’ retention. H4- The
pension payment upon retirement has a positive impact on workers’ retention.
To investigate the application of SDT among leaders and delineate practical managerial approaches for supporting basic
psychological needs in the workplace. To investigate the phenomenon of SDT-based leadership the research asks: how do
leaders apply SDT, when carrying out their day-to-day managerial functions, to support workers’ needs for autonomy,
competence and relatedness? This study is the first draw upon the lived experience of practitioners, specifically
organizational leaders, who have operationalized the theory into actions and have personally applied SDT in their
organization. Consistent with engaged scholarship (Van de Ven, 2007), the study aims to leverage theoretic knowledge of
SDT scholars alongside the insights and applied experience of practitioners to delineate examples of basic psychological
need support that are practically salient and aligned to the theoretic tenets of SDT. In doing so, this paper contributes to
bridging the theory-practice gap and further expands our understanding of what leaders do to motivate organizational
members.
Furthermore, this study expands prior research by investigating the relationship between perceived authentic leadership and
employees’ positive outcomes in terms of factors that may drive sales performance, such a employees’ psychological capital
(PsyCap) and work engagement. By uncovering antecedents that lead employees to perceive their supervisors as authentic
leaders and investigating the potential effects on employees’ work outcomes, we aim to contribute to the development of
managerial tools and strategic guides to support sales organizations, such as hiring and training processes and team
effectiveness development.
Hypothesis:

H1- Sales managers’ self-ratings of authentic leadership will relate positively to salespeople’s perceptions of their
manager’s authentic leadership.
H2a- Perceived frequency of leader–follower interaction will relate positively to salespeople’
perception of supervisors’ authentic leadership.
to better understand the human aspects of open innovation in SMEs by exploring how intrinsic and extrinsic motivation
influence the enjoyment in helping others, knowledge sharing and knowledge hiding and consequently firms' open
innovation. In responding to the abovementioned calls, the first intended contribution of this study is to examine the
microfoundations of open innovation from the entrepreneurs' perspective in SMEs. H1-Intrinsic motivation is positively
related to enjoyment in helping others.
Hypothesis:
H2- Intrinsic motivation is positively related to knowledge sharing.
H3- Intrinsic motivation is negatively related to knowledge hiding.
H4- Extrinsic motivation is positively related to enjoyment of helping others.
H5- Extrinsic motivation is positively related to knowledge sharing.
Healthcare systems worldwide face the challenges of increasing demands and limited resources. To drive efficiency, policy
makers are introducing financial incentives and provider competition based on their presumed motivational effect
To establish several important relationships that have not been well explored in the hotel sector in Northern Cyprus. To
examine the mediating role of employee satisfaction in the relationship between HRM practices and the competitive
advantage in which these factors have not been explored in the north of Cyprus or in the tourism sector. To contributes to
the field of HRM in the hotel and tourism industry by offering an in-depth look at the existing literature. To considers the
mediation effect of employee satisfaction, which was initially introduced in hotel management and tourism.
Hypothesis:
H1- HR planning has a statistically significant impact on the competitive
advantage.
H2- Job analysis and design has a statistically significant impact on competitive advantage.
H3- Employee performance appraisal has a statistically significant impact on the competitive advantage.
H4- Recruitment, selection and placement has a statistically significant impact on the competitive advantage.
H5- Compensation and reward has a statistically significant impact on the competitive advantage.
H6- Training and development has a statistically significant impact on the competitive advantage.
H7- Employee satisfaction would fully mediate the association between HR planning and the competitive advantage.
H8- Employee satisfaction would fully mediate the relationship between job analysis and design and competitive
advantage. H9- Employee satisfaction would fully mediate the relationship between employee performance
appraisal and the competitive advantage.
H10-Employee satisfaction would fully mediate the relationship between recruitment, selection and
placement and the competitive advantage.
H11- Employee satisfaction would fully mediate the association between compensation and
reward and the competitive advantage.
H12- Employee satisfaction would fully mediate the association between training and development and the competitive
advantage.

According to Wirawan (2009), performance is the output generated by the functions or indicators of a job or a profession in
a certain time. Bank Aceh Syariah Lhokseumawe has several benchmarks in evaluating its employees including by
evaluating the quantity of work in each work unit as well as the quality of work produced by each employee, then
supervision is very important to do because Bank Aceh Syariah is an institution trusted by public. In addition, cooperation
between bank employees need to be maintained and continue to be fostered to achieve the vision and mission of the
organization. Based on the phenomenon and background of the problems, then the author wants to examine “The Influence
of Work Motivation on Employee Performance With OCB as Intervening Variable At Bank Aceh Syariah Lhokseumawe.”
How HRM practices affect public employees’ job satisfaction in a cross-national context, which might be useful to develop
a universal construct.
Hypothesis:
H1- Perceived organisational and managerial support have a positive effect on the job satisfaction of public employees.
H2- Perceived organisational justice and fairness positively influence public employees’ job satisfaction.

H3- Intrinsic rewards will affect the job satisfaction of public employees.

H4- Extrinsic rewards will affect the job satisfaction of public employees.

H5- The relationship between job satisfaction and its determinants will vary across countries.
The present prolific of research on the subject matter of organizational behavior substantiates the relationship between
employees’ welfare and organizational effectiveness. Subsequently, the present regime of human resource management
theories primarily focus on achieving compatibility between individual employee’ and organizational goals, to ensure
organizational equilibrium. Robertson (1994) argued that the behavior of organizational members is influenced to a large
extent by characteristics of their work settings. For this reason, it is imperative to gage the understanding of mechanism
which governs the employee’ psychological reaction to its environment and develop attitude toward their job and
organization at large. Therefore, it is arguably more important than ever to understand how organizational offerings,
whether intrinsic and extrinsic contributes toward the employee behavior at workplace.
Hypothesis: Job characteristics leads job satisfaction to which employee
reciprocate by exhibiting their commitment toward their organization which in turn reduce intentions to leave an
organization.
How do people react when the continuity and stability of their job is at risk? Does their performance succumb to the
anticipation that they might lose their job, or do they devote extra effort toward their performance to prevent job loss from
happening?
Hypothesis:
H1- The relationship between employee perceived job insecurity and supervisor-rated overall performance is moderated by
employee intrinsic motivation, in such a way that perceived job insecurity is only positively related to performance when
intrinsic motivation is low.
H2- The relationship between employee perceived job insecurity and supervisor-rated overall
performance is moderated by employee perceived distributive justice, in such a way that perceived job insecurity is only
positively related to performance when perceived distributed justice is high.
The aim of this research is to show the ways of setting quality objectives, their attributes and conditions under
which they can fulfil a motivational function. is known about the level of awareness of quality objectives in
organizations with a quality management system in place, about people who factually set quality objectives, and
whether they are imposed or established in cooperation with all interested parties. This is important as the
process may identify existing management styles and even the level of trust in employees (these issues,
however, require other further research). We are interested in employees' opinions on the attributes of quality
objectives: to what extent they are measurable and objective and whether they are related to strategic objectives
(as indicated in the requirements of ISO 9001).

As part of the ongoing effort to take care of the public servant, which is a fundamental goal of administrative
reform, The career progression is vital which is One of the ways that drive a public servant towards self-
development and considered as an incentive to work and production that leads to stabilize the employee at his
work, taking into account the efficiency of the individual and his skills that Putting the individuals in the
specialty that suits them In the administrative and professional hierarchy inside the organization building,
Although many countries modify the grade structures as a starting point of administrative reforms, academic
researchers studying this area – to define the criteria that develop such structures and to explicate the objectives
that can be achieved – are almost rare.
The topic is important because quality objectives determine the directions of undertaken improvement activities
and allow organizations to measure the effectiveness of their quality management systems. However, the
previous literature concerning quality objectives has not been too extensive. So far attempts have been made to
define quality objectives (ISO 9000:2015, Quality Management Systems – Fundamentals and Vocabulary,
Price, 2002), the methods of setting quality objectives have been described (Djouab et al., 2016; Bexelius et al.,
2018; Zapłata, 2018; Tadic et al., 2013; Martínez-Moreno and Díaz Suárez, 2016), their importance has been
emphasized (Deming, 2012; Dale, 1999), the attributes of quality objectives and the conditions of their
functioning have been identified (Hirzalla et al., 2014; Oakland, 1995; Bugdol, 2018; Zapłata, 2018; Tadic et
al., 2013; Allison and Byron, 1996; Djouab et al., 2016; Tadic et al., 2013) and problems with their setting and
achievement have been highlighted (Tadic et al., 2013; Deming, 2012; Carson and Carson, 1993). Few
publications indicate the function motivating employees to pursue quality objectives (Shackleton and Wale,
2002; Whitaker and Levy, 2012; Gilliland and Landis, 1992; Locke, 1978; Huczynski and Buchanan, 1991;
Fishbach, 2018).
The aim of this paper is to shed more light on LPs’ efficacy in B2B and their possible impact on the company’s
performance. More specifically, the purpose of the paper is to verify if and how customers’ activity in a LP
leads to higher sales in B2B.
Hypothesis:
H1- Reward frequency affects sales
more than (a) recency of reward redemptions and (b) amount of points redeemed.
Organizations, at the heart of which lie banks, face challenges, including complex developments, and
technological trends, among them are globalization, deregulation. These fast changes impose on them
to manage their staff businesses effectively in job satisfaction, employee performance and
organizational commitment. It was found that when employees were satisfied with their job, they were
successfully committed to their organizations and contributed to their effectiveness and ultimate
survival (Mahmood, 2013). Although HRM practices have increasingly been studied in connection
with different organizational outcomes like employee job satisfaction, employee performance and
employee commitment (Rahman et al., 2013; Nadarajah et al., 2012; Choi and Lee, 2013), there is no
research on the role of HRM and employee job satisfaction in predicting organizational commitment in
the Saudi Arabian banking sector. Hypothesis:
H1: There is a
positive correlation between HRM and employee job satisfaction.
H2: There is a positive correlation between job satisfaction and organizational commitment.
H3: There is a positive correlation between HRM and organizational commitment.
H4: There are combined effects of HRM and employee job satisfaction on organizational commitment.
The study is in an attempt to investigate norm of reciprocity within the social exchange bond,
specifically to develop an understanding of employee attitude such as, job satisfaction, organizational
commitment and employee’ intention to leave an organization.
Hypothesis:
H1- Job characteristics leads job satisfaction to which employee reciprocate by exhibiting
their commitment toward their organization which in turn reduce intentions to leave an organization.
To examine two different mediating mechanisms, employee commitment and job satisfaction. The
results of our study will shed light on their relative power to explain the relationship between EL, CSR
and employee Hypothesis:
H1: CSR is negatively related to employee TI.
H2: EL is negatively related to employee TI.
H3: The relationship between CSR and TI will be partially mediated by commitment to the
organisation.
H4: The relationship between CSR and TI will be partially mediated by satisfaction.
H5: The relationship between EL and TI will be partially mediated by commitment to the leader.
H6: The relationship between EL and TI will be partially mediated by satisfaction.
To test the serial mediating effect of internal employability and affective commitment on the
relationship between organisational practices of competence development and turnover intentions, we
used the correlational quantitative method. The results verified that employees valued support for their
development of competences, which strengthened their connection with the organisation.
Hypothesis
H1: The perception of organisational practices of competences
development [(a) training, (b) individualised support and (c) functional rotation] has a significant and
negative effect on turnover intentions.
H2: Perceived internal employability has a significant and negative effect on turnover intentions.
H3: Affective commitment has a significant and negative effect on turnover intentions.
H4: Perceived internal employability and affective commitment both represent an indirect effect in
series in the relationship between organizational practices of competences development [(a) training,
(b) individualized support and (c) functional rotation] and turnover intentions.
Turnover is a critical factor to the organizations, to individuals and to the society and presents both
positive and negative aspects (Phillips and Connell, 2003). Although there are studies of turnover in the
last 30 years in behavioral area and human resources with theories about voluntary resignation (Tett

There are various reasons why an employee leaves the organization or has the intention to leave
(Gaylard et al., 2005; Agapito et al., 2015). After a literature collection, two constructs were chosen
usually mentioned as influencers of this decision or intention to leave the organization, which were “job
satisfaction” and “organizational commitment” (Tett and Meyer, 1993; Gaertner, 1999; Mobley, 1992;
Griffeth et al., 2000; Du et al., 2006; Lee and Mowday, 1987; Yucel, 2012; Baotham et al., 2010).
Retaining professionals is a permanent challenge in an organizational environment that also remains as
the most persistent challenge faced, especially by the information technology (IT) sector, with its
particularities and shortage of labor in the Brazilian scenario (Joseph et al., 2007; Fernandes et al.,
2013). The comprehension of the factors which influence the voluntary exit or the intention of doing it
might be quite valid to the enterprises which can direct their strategies and actions of human resources,
aiming to keep the good professionals (Lee and Maurer, 1997; Medeiros et al., 2003; Stewart et al.,
2011). Hypothesis:
H1- HRM and employee job satisfaction contribute
to organizational commitment.
The purpose of the study is to identify similarities and differences in the variables that impact job
satisfaction for hotel housekeepers across countries with the goal of informing management practice.
To our knowledge, this is the first global comparative study of job satisfaction for hotel housekeepers.
Hypothesis:
H1- There will be statistically significant differences in the levels of job
satisfaction for hotel housekeepers across countries.
H2- Job satisfaction for employees in hospitality occupational categories will be lower than for
employees in all other occupational categories, controlling for other work characteristic and individual
factors.
H3- Job satisfaction for hotel housekeepers will be lower than for employees in other hospitality
occupational categories, controlling for other work characteristic and individual factors.
H4- There will be statistically significant cross-national differences in the mean scores of the
determinants of job satisfaction for hotel housekeepers.
H5- Work-life balance factors will have a statistically significant positive impact on the job satisfaction
for hotel housekeepers across nations.
H6- Extrinsic rewards will have a statistically significant positive impact on the job satisfaction for
hotel housekeepers across nations.
H7- Intrinsic rewards will have a statistically significant positive impact on the job satisfaction for hotel
housekeepers across nations.
H8- Coworker relations factors will have a statistically significant positive impact on the job
satisfaction for hotel housekeepers across nations.

Following the approach of Andrade and Westover's (2018a, b); e.g. see also
Andrade et al. (2019a, b), this research utilizes cross national comparative data
from the International Social Survey Program (ISSP) 2015 Work Orientations
Module IV [1], which uses multistage stratified probability samples in 37
individual countries around the globe [2] and asks questions about employees'
work experiences, conditions, and perceptions. In this analysis, we focus on hotel
housekeepers, with N = 408, all hospitality workers, with an N = 982, and all
workers, with an N = 18,716. As Westover noted, “The International Social
Survey Program Work Orientations modules utilized a multistage stratified
probability sample to collect the data for each of the various countries with a
variety of eligible participants in each country's target population” (2012a, p. 3).
All ISSP Work Orientation variables are single-item indicators and the unit of
analysis is individuals across each participating country. The sample of hotel
housekeepers, by the 29 countries, is as follows in Table 1.

The findings reported in the study provide
useful insights for marketing managers
who set up and operate LPs on B2B

perception and satisfaction with a LP, a
delayed reward can lead to greater loyalty
than instant rewards once customers are
gratified, while instant rewards lead to
greater loyalty than delayed rewards once
customers are disappointed (Hu et al.,
2010).
This study has some limitations. First,
convenient sampling method was used
to recruit the participants. Therefore,
the findings of the study have limited
generalizability in other regions and

in making any generalization of the

Furthermore, self-report questionnaires
were used to collect data from
respondents. It is recommended that
future researchers use different
methods such as personal interview or
telephone interview to collect data.
This may help get reliable data after
clarifying and removing what may be
ambiguous.
