“…Thiruchelvi and Supriya (2009, p. 110) view job satisfaction as “an appraisal of the perceived job characteristics, work environment, and emotional experience at work.” They stated that when employees talk of job satisfaction, it means that they are expressing their feelings about their job rather than their thoughts. According to Thiruchelvi and Supriya (2009), job satisfaction is affected by three main factors, namely, job-, organization-, and individual-related factors. Moynihan and Pandey (2007) hypothesized and confirmed that job satisfaction has had the greatest influence on organizations.…”

This study aimed at relating trust and psychological empowerment to Iranian English as a foreign language (EFL) teachers’ job satisfaction. Participants were 217 (117 females and 100 males) Iranian EFL teachers teaching in secondary school. Four dimensions of psychological empowerment (meaning, competence, self-determination, and impact), three faculty trust (trust in principal, trust in colleague, and trust in students and parents), and two aspects of job satisfaction (intrinsic and extrinsic) were measured. The collected data were analyzed by means of structural equation modeling (SEM) using the AMOS 20 program. Results indicated that psychological empowerment was directly related to job satisfaction; however, trust was indirectly related to job satisfaction through psychological empowerment. Assuming job satisfaction as the causing factor, results indicated that job satisfaction could be directly related to other two variables. Findings have valuable implications for secondary school principals and authorities of Ministry of Education in higher levels.

“…In this sense, interpersonal skills aid in the functional improvement of the organization (Chiva & Alegre, 2008) while ensuring that employees are continually empowered and encouraged to remain compatible with organizational goals and objectives.

This study examined the impact of emotional intelligence on organizational citizenship behavior with organizational climate as the mediator, in the context of Jordanian pharmaceutical companies. The study addresses the gap in the research that examines the mediating effect organizational climate has on organizational citizenship behavior and emotional intelligence. Quantifiable data were collected using a survey questionnaire, and statistical analyses were performed, including correlation and regression analysis. This study indicates that organizational climate is of great importance in Jordanian pharmaceutical companies because it tended to promote efficiency and effectiveness among employees. Organizational climate mediates the relationship between emotional intelligence and organizational citizenship behavior; if emotionally intelligent employees are provided with a positive organizational climate, only then can they contribute positively towards organizational citizenship behavior. The study is helpful in understanding how organizational citizenship behavior has become a factor underlying job satisfaction. Therefore, Jordanian pharmaceutical companies should focus on developing a culture in which employees can achieve goals and feel satisfied.

“…When the professionals have the sense to repay back the organization due to the positive psychological response, this will avoid the feeling of self-withdrawal from organization. According to Thiruchelvi and Supriya (2009), among the emotional responses found at the workplace is job satisfaction, resulted from the positive feeling generated at the workplace. In this study, we include two identified personal-related factors (emotional intelligence, and self-efficacy) as contributors to professionals' job satisfaction and intention to stay.…”

One of the most emerging issues in the field of Human Resource Development is how to effectively help professional employees to retain in organizations. Structural equation modelling (SEM-AMOS) was employed to examine factors influencing intention to stay among professionals and the mediation role of job satisfaction in the correlational relationships. Survey forms were collected from 457 professionals in Malaysia. The results revealed that personal-related factors (emotional intelligence and self-efficacy) have significant impact on professionals' intention to stay, and job satisfaction mediated the relationship between personal-related factors and intention to stay. The findings of this study are useful for HRD practitioners to develop the interventions to assist individuals and organizations towards successful self-development and sustainable organizations.
