The current study investigated job characteristics as predictors of work motivation
and job satisfaction in bank managers. A purposive sample of 150 male managers
from various banks of Rawalpindi city was drawn. Job diagnostic survey, work
preference inventory, and job satisfaction subscale of Michigan organizational
assessment questionnaire were used for measuring job characteristics, work
motivation, and job satisfaction respectively. Zero order correlation revealed positive
and significant relationship among various job characteristics, work motivation,
and job satisfaction. Multiple regression analyses revealed that job characteristics
constituted significant models for predicting intrinsic motivation, extrinsic motivation,
and job satisfaction. Task identity turned out to be the most important positive
predictor of job satisfaction and intrinsic motivation whereas extrinsic motivation
was only predicted by feedback. The findings have been discussed and suggestions
for future studies have been proposed.
