Self-directed learning, job demands and job resources as predictors of job satisfaction among South African women

Abstract: Research shows that women face various demands and barriers that have a negative impact on their job experiences and job satisfaction. At the same time increasing numbers of women are entering the labor force. Studies regarding the factors that influence the job satisfaction of women in South Africa are scarce and the role of self-directed learning in predicting job satisfaction has received limited attention. The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of job demands, job resources and self-directed learning on the job satisfaction of South African women. The results of hierarchical multiple regression analyses showed that self-directed learning explained a significant portion of the variance in job satisfaction, above and beyond the variance that was explained by job demands and resources. Self-directed learners seem to have several characteristics that facilitate adjustment to career challenges. This research has implications for organizations that strive to enhance job satisfaction in their employees. Key words: Career worries, job demands-resources model, job insecurity, job satisfaction, self-directed learning, work drive, work-life balance, work involvement, work relationships.

Core Self-Evaluations, Job Satisfaction, Transformational and Servant Leadership Model in the Roman Catholic Education System.

Abstract: Core self-evaluations, effective leadership styles and employee job satisfaction are essential factors for organizational success. This paper aims to determine the relationship of the leader’s core self-evaluations, transformational leadership and servant leadership styles to their follower’s job satisfaction in selected Parochial Schools in Manila, Philippines under the Roman Catholic Education System. The respondents were selected according to certain criteria. Descriptive correlational design was used. In total, 308 individuals from the teaching and non-teaching personnel participated. The data were collected using survey questionnaires. Data were analyzed using Partial Least Squares-Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). Research findings revealed that a positive relationship exists between leader’s core self-evaluations and transformational leadership; core self-evaluations to servant leadership; transformational leadership to job satisfaction; and servant leadership to job satisfaction. These relationships are statistically significant. The relationship of the leader’s core self-evaluations to the follower’s job satisfaction indicated a direct effect but were statistically non-significant on the basis of its p-value. The major contribution of the current study is to extend the limited literature regarding the antecedents of the four (4) selected variables.
