The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of transformational leadership on employee performance via job satisfaction in telecommunication sector, Jordan. Self-administered questionnaire was used to collect data from 278 employees. Structural equation modeling (SEM) via The Analysis of Moment Structures, i.e., IBM AMOS 22 was applied to test hypotheses. The findings show that transformational leadership was significantly and positively associated with both job satisfaction and employee performance. Furthermore, job satisfaction had a significant relationship with employee performance. Consequently, the results underlined a significant mediation effect of job satisfaction in the interaction between transformational leadership and employee performance.

Organizational citizenship behavior (OCB) has received a great deal of attention among researchers recently given the practical importance and its implication for the organizations. Building on a theoretical framework that links characteristics of leader and perception of individuals and their work settings to organizational commitment (OC) and citizenship behavior, the objective of this study was to investigate the relationship between spiritual leadership, job attitudes, and organizational citizenship behavior among lecturers at Islamic University. A cross-sectional design was used to meet the objectives set. Data were collected through the administration of questionnaires to 170 lecturers from Islamic University in Malang. Data were collected through 5 questionnaires in which participants completed measures of spiritual leadership, job satisfaction, organizational commitment, and OCBs. Results showed that one of the seven hypotheses proposed was rejected in this study. The results of structural equation modeling indicated a direct effect between spiritual leadership and OCB, and an indirect effect of organizational commitment on the relationship between spiritual leadership and job satisfaction toward OCB. The implications of these findings, as well as directions for future research, are addressed.

This empirical research aims to investigate the relationship between Human Resource Management (HRM) practices, Person-Organization (P-O) fit and Job Satisfaction (JS) from the nurses’ perspective working in Private Hospitals in Jordan. This study examines the individual effect of HRM practices i.e. Recruitment and Selection (RS); Training and Development (TD); and Performance Appraisal (PA) on P-O fit and JS. In addition, it also examines the mediating effect of P-O fit on the relationship between HRM practices and JS. Total of 274 responses were collected directly using structured questionnaire via convenience sampling technique. The result was analyzed with PLS-SEM. Findings indicate that RS and PA were found to have significant effect on P-O fit. TD did not have any significant effect on P-O fit. In addition, P-O fit also had significant effect on nurse’s JS. In terms of mediating effect, P-O fit only mediated the relationship between RS and PA toward JS. However, there was no mediation effect on the relationship between TD and JS. This study may provide an initial blueprint for further investigation of other theoretical nurses’ job satisfaction and turnover intention related models. Finally, the study findings work as evidence about the new realization among the Jordanian organizations about the importance of adaption the HRM practices.

This study aims to investigate the effects of job-related stressors and individual-related stressors on employee motivation, job satisfaction and employee loyalty in the context of Vietnam hospitality industry. Data were collected by surveying 595 employees including Hotel/Restaurant receptionist, low-level manager (shift/group leader, supervisor, etc.) and Middle level and high ranked manager (Chief/deputy chief of department, general manager, director, etc.) from medium to large Hotels and Restaurants in Ho Chi Minh City. Besides, the collected data was analyzed by employing partial least squares (PLS) technique. The results show that individual-related stressors positively and directly affect employee motivation, job satisfaction and employee loyalty while job-related stressors have a positive direct effect on employee motivation but indirectly affect job satisfaction and employee loyalty. This study provides critical contributions to the research field of the Hospitality industry as well as suggests some important recommendations for improving employee motivation, job satisfaction and employee loyalty in the context of Vietnam Hospitality.

The impact of organizational commitment on employees’ job performance has been studied extensively in the West, while few studies have been conducted in non-western countries. Moreover, there are not many studies about the effects of job satisfaction on this relationship. The purpose of this research is to study the effect of organizational commitment on job performance through the mediating role of job satisfaction. For the purpose, four hypotheses were developed, the first three predicted positive relationships between organizational commitment, job satisfaction and job performance and the last one suggested the mediating effect of job satisfaction. 547 employees in Vietnamese enterprises were surveyed. The results of the study supported all the hypotheses. Accordingly, organizational commitment had a positive impact on job performance; organizational commitment had a positive impact on job satisfaction; job satisfaction had a positive impact on job performance when organizational commitment was controlled. The strength of the relation between organizational commitment and job performance was significantly reduced when job satisfaction was added to the model, suggesting the mediating role of job satisfaction. In the light of the findings, it is suggested that merely positive relationship between organizational commitment and job performance may not automatically lead an employer to achieve the outcome - job performance. Therefore, the secret of success lies in improving job satisfaction through solutions to enhance organizational commitment, thereby increase job performance.
