Abstract
This study serves an empirical gap by providing new statistical evidence
in an old debate. The focus of study is to explore mediating role of job
satisfaction between employee’s motivation and normative organizational
commitment. The sample for the study was collected from telecom based
emerging multinationals companies in Pakistan. Six factors of
employee’s motivation have identified in the light of existing literature.
The result showed that four factors are related to job satisfaction.
Findings depict that job satisfaction partially mediates between
motivational factors and normative organizational commitment. Research
has both theoretical and practical implications. Theoretically study has
integrated mainstream behavioral theories including three component
model, self-determination, and Herzberg's (1953) dual-factor. Practically
study demands Human Resource (HR) practitioners to think beyond usual
HR practices. Study explores that Pakistani workforce believes in
normative organizational commitment. Thus, companies taking care of
employees through motivational practices can hire and retain committed
workforce at completive salaries. It is also implied that HR professionals
can attract commitment workforce through employee branding.
