Hackman and Oldham's Job Characteristics Model to Job Satisfaction

The Mediating Role of Job Characteristics in the Relationship between Organizational Commitment and Job Satisfaction

“…The association between job characteristics and job satisfaction, which was hypothesized by H3, was also accepted. These results are similar to those of previous studies (Ali et al, 2014;Bashir and Ramay, 2008;Bhatti et al, 2012;Kassem & Sarhan, 2013;Morris & Venkatesh, 2010;Oluwafemi, 2009;Said & Munap, 2011;Thomas et al, 2004). …”

“…Numerous previous studies revealed that all these characteristics increase job satisfaction (Ali, Said, Yunus, Abd-Kader, Ab-Latif, & Munap, 2014;Bashir & Ramay, 2008;Bhatti, Syed, & Shaikh, 2012;Kassem & Sarhan, 2013;Morris & Venkatesh, 2010;Oluwafemi, 2009;Said & Munap, 2011;Thomas, Buboltz, & Winkelspecht, 2004). Al-Tit and Hunitie (2015) found a positive link between feedback and job satisfaction.…”

A Study on Teacher’s Absenteeism and Performance in Underdeveloped Areas of West Kalimantan Province

“…Critical psychological state refers to a condition possed by a teacher to carry out his/her duties, including (1) a job should be experienced as something meaningful or crucial, (2) employee should be responsible for his/her job's outcome, (3) the employee should ascertain the job's outcome regularly and he/she should ensure if the outcome is satisfactory or not (Hackman and Lawler, 1971;Hackman and Oldham, 1975;1980;Boonzaier et al, 2001;Hadi and Adil, 2010;Ali et al, 2013).…”

“…When the level of absenteeism is high, the performance will get lower (Suprastowo, 2013). Hackman and Oldham (1975;1980) and other subsequent scholars (Boonzaier et al, 2001;Hadi and Adil, 2010;Ali et al, 2013;Patrick and Bhat, 2014;Kumari and Jeyapalan, 2015) posit that critical psychological state of an individual makes the individual make meaning of what they are doing (experienced meaningfulness of the work), takes responsibility (experienced responsibility for outcomes of the work), and understand the outcomes of the work (knowledge of results of the work activities). This critical psychological state will not only affect the employee's absenteeism but also their performance.…”

“…Third, although the variable of critical psychological states has been frequently researched by earlier scholars (Hackman and Oldham, 1975;1980;Ali et al, 2013;Patrick and Bhat, 2014;Kumari and Jeyapalan, 2015), they solely used office workers and employees (non-teaching profession) as the research object. There seems no research focusing on teacher's critical psychological states.…”
