The facts of job satisfaction and their perceived importance among elementary school foodservice dietitians were assessed. The survey instrument consisted of three parts: the job satisfaction survey was used to measure facets of job satisfaction and the level of total satisfaction; perceived importance questions for corresponding job facets; and demographic items. A survey of school food service operations was undertaken and detailed information was collected from 170 dietitians. The collected data were processed using the SPSS package program for descriptive analysis and analysis of valiance. School foodservice dietitians' importance and satisfactions scores on their job and working environment were 4.25 and 2.83, respectively. The respondents rated the subscales of 'communication' and 'nature of work' the highest and the subscales of 'pay' and 'working environment' the lowest The results of facet satisfaction scores and corresponding perceived importance scores were paired to be plotted on the Importance-Performance Analysis Grid. IPA grid was used to provide a strategy for food service managers to counteract dietitian dissatisfaction.

This study was to investigate the factors which influence foodservice dietitians' job satisfaction and dissatisfaction by the elementary school foodservice type using questionnaires. The results of the study are as followings : 1) Foodservice types of the subjects were urban 49(23.2%), country 141(66.8%) and island 21(10.0%). 79.6% of the urban type were operated by the conventional, independent management system, where 38.3% of the country and 52.4% of the island type were operated by conventional, joint management system. 2) Urban type dietitians showed significantly lower satisfaction on their salary & promotion(1.5) compare to country & island types(p<0.05). Island type dietitians showed significantly lower satisfaction on the student's health improving(2.4) compare to country &urban types(p<0.05). 3) Dietitians of urban type were dissatisfied more 'personnel management(3.2)' than dietitians of other two types. Dietitians of country type and island type were dissatisfied more 'extra work load(2.6)' than dietitians of urban type. 4) Work load was lots orderly island, country and urban types. Working attitudes were the most positive at dietitians of urban type and the most negative at dietitians of island type. 5) Job satisfaction and dissatisfaction of dietitians were correlated with number of meals, number of school transfer, cook license, additional job and school foodservice location type.

목적: 본 연구는 운동선수 코치의 업무와 관련된 긍정적인 변인을 밝히려는 연구의 일환이다. 이를 위해 직무요 구-자원(JD-R) 모델에서 직무열의를 통해 업무와 관련된 긍정적 측면을 밝히려는 동기적 과정을 적용해 관련변인을 선정하고 분석을 실시하였다. 구체적으로 코치들이 지각하는 직무자원과 업무만족도의 관계에서 직무열의의 매개효과를 검증하고, 최종적으로 직무자원과 직무요구의 상호작용효과를 검증하였다. 방법: 학원스포츠 현장에서 선수를 지도하는 코치 156명을 대상으로 자료를 수집하였다. 측정도구는 코칭업무에 부합되게 수정된 직무자원, 직무열의, 직무요구, 업무만족도 등 4가지 검사지를 사용하였다. 수집된 자료는 기술통계 분석을 시작으로 신뢰도 분석, 구성타당도 분석, 상관관계 분석을 실시하였으며, 최종적인 연구문제를 검증하기 위해 단순매개모형 분석과 조건부 분석을 실시하여 결과를 도출하였다. 결과: 첫째, 코치의 직무자원은 직무열의를 경유하여 업무만족도를 긍정적으로 예측할 수 있는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 코치의 직무자원이 직무열의를 통해 업무만족도에 미치는 간접효과가 직무요구의 수준이 높을수록 감소하는 것으로 나타났다. 결론: 스포츠 현장의 코치들이 지각하는 직무 열의는 코치업무의 긍정적인 측면을 설명하는 주요한 변인이라는 것이 확인되었지만, 과도한 직무요구가 발생하 면 업무에 부정적 영향을 미칠 수 있는 것으로 나타났다.

This study provides an understanding of the role of job satisfaction as a mediator of compensation and workplace environments for the organizational commitment of employees in the public sector. This study used a structural model using path analysis. The population and sample in this study were all employees at the Population and Civil Registry Office of one of the districts in Indonesia. The sampling technique used was total sampling, due to the considerably smaller amount of the sample size. This study found that compensation and workplace environment could explain job satisfaction variables with a 93.8% confidence level and simultaneously compensation, workplace environment, and job satisfaction that could explain organizational commitment with a variable of 97.4%. This findings also shows that the manifest bonus variable on the latent compensation variable is one of the main indicators that needs to improve to increase job satisfaction and organizational commitment. One of the important things which needs to be done is to increase compensation. The first thing which needs to be done is to increase the bonus. Furthermore, to improve the quality of the workplace environment, facilities, and infrastructure such as stable internet connections, computer specifications are the important criteria that must be met.

Purpose: The public sectors including government and public organizations have put an efforts to improve the quality of people’s lives by providing enhanced services. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the factors that affect job attitude, job satisfaction, and job performance in the public sector, that are rarely examined by previous studies. Research Design, data, and methodology: The following research questions have been proposed: i) how do payroll system, personnel management system, cooperative working environment, and self-efficacy affect job attitude?; and ii) how does job attitude affect job satisfaction and performance? This paper used a survey through an online platform and collected data randomly from five classified public institutions. This study applied regression analysis and ANOVA. Results: This study found that cooperative working environment and self-efficacy had significant impacts on job attitude, while payroll system and personnel management system did not affect job attitude. Overall job attitude affected both job satisfaction and performance. Conclusions: The results provide policy implications to the public sector which factors should be considered to improve job attitude, job satisfaction, and job performance. The results also provide managerial implications how such efforts ultimately improve service quality to the citizens.

This study aims to develop a research framework to investigate the factors affecting organizational commitment among employees who are working in Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) enterprises in Vietnam. The authors designed an online survey distributed to employees in FDI enterprises, collecting the data from 312 employees. All scales in this study are adopted from previous studies; tools employed include Cronbach’s Alpha, Exploratory Factor Analysis, and Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) to examine the internal consistency, reliability, dimensionality, and validity of each variable. Then, the structural equation modelling (SEM) was utilized in order to estimate path correlations between variables. Results indicate that the leadership style has the strongest effect on organizational commitment, followed by job satisfaction and working performance. Moreover, working performance and job satisfaction are also influenced by leadership style. However, there is no statistical evidence to show that job satisfaction has an impact on working performance. In addition, bootstrapping method is used to show the indirect effect of variables; results reveal that leadership style, though, does not have indirect effect on working performance via job satisfaction, but it indirectly affects organizational commitment throughout working performance. In other words, the study finds that working performance mediates the link between leadership style and organizational commitment.

This study examines the relation between the quality of leader-member relationship and operational performance of processing enterprises employees in Vietnam, while job satisfaction and innovation are as a mediator variable. In depth interviews are first conducted with five managers and professional workers in five processing enterprises to determine the latent variables and build the structured questionnaire with observed variables. A quantitative survey with 438 employees and managers from 300 processing enterprises was carried out. The method of exploratory factor analysis (EFA), Cronbach’s alpha analysis, and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was used to test the reliability, the convergent nature, and the consistency of the concepts. Structural equation modeling (SEM) is used to test the proposed model. The result shows that job satisfaction, innovation and operational performance have positive effects on the quality of leader-member relationship. The relationship between leaders and members had indirect impact on employee’s operational performance via their job satisfaction and innovation, which illustrates a mediator role of job satisfaction and innovation for employees’ performance. The findings of this study suggest that managers need to focus on developing relationship with employees to improve their satisfaction, innovation and performance.

이 연구는 교장공모제 시행 여부에 따른 학교풍토, 직무만족도, 교사효능감에 대한 교사들의 인식을 비교함으로써 교장공모제가 각 요인에 미치는 영향을 알아보고자 하였다. 이를 위하여 전국의 공립 초·중·고등학교에 재직 중인 교사를 대상으로 설문조사를 실시하였으며, 연구 참여자는 교장공모제를 시행 중인 학교의 교사 7,551명, 교장공모제를 시행하지 않는 일반학교의 교사 13,815명으로 총 21,366명이 최종 참여하였다. 연구 결과 교장공모제 여부는 학교풍토 및 교사 직무만족도와 유의한 관계가 있으며, 교사효능감에는 유의한 영향이 없는 것으로 나타났다. 또한, 교장공모제 시행 학교를 학교급별로 나누어 인식차를 분석한 결과 학교풍토, 직무만족도, 교사효능감 모두에서 초등학교 교사들의 인식이 가장 긍정적인 것으로 나타났고, 유형별로 나누어 인식차를 분석한 결과 학교풍토, 교사효능감에서 개방형 학교 교사들의 인식 평균값이 가장 낮은 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구의 결과는 교장공모제가 학교 및 교사에 미치는 긍정적인 영향을 밝혔다는 점에서 의의가 있으나 일부 양적연구가 갖는 한계를 지니고 있어 제언을 통해 후속 연구의 필요성을 제기하였다.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to find out a range of cues that trigger employees to willingly make efforts for corporate development in small and medium enterprises. This was determined by assessing the effects of employees' value inclination on their job satisfaction and organizational citizenship behavior as well as how they perceived their organizational support. Research design, data, and methodology – A total of 126 valid questionnaire sheets collected from SME employees were analyzed with SPSS 24.0 and AMOS 24.0 involving simple regression analysis, multiple regression analysis, hierarchical moderated regression analysis and 3-step mediated regression analysis. Results – The analyses highlighted employees’ personal value inclination had positive effects on their job satisfaction, which in turn enhanced their organizational citizenship behavior. Meanwhile, individualist and collectivist inclination exerted greater effects on job satisfaction and organizational citizenship behavior, respectively. The study also revealed that perceived organizational support moderated the relationship between job satisfaction and organizational citizenship behavior. Conclusion – Hence, CEOs in SMEs should avert any dichotomous analysis of their employees’ value inclination, respect their personal value inclinations and also apply factors that could raise their job satisfaction. Likewise, it was shown that SME employees need to make personal efforts for organizational development.
