TL;DR: In this paper, a model is developed to show how role ambiguity acts as an intervening variable in the link between participation and outcome criteria, and empirical results indicate that budgetary participation acts indirectly, via role ambiguity, to influence job satisfaction and performance.
Abstract: The results of studies into the effects of participative budgeting have been equivocal. This study seeks to explain the process by which participation in budget setting affects managers' performance and job satisfaction. A model is developed to show how role ambiguity acts as an intervening variable in the link between participation and outcome criteria. Empirical results indicate that budgetary participation acts indirectly, via role ambiguity, to influence job satisfaction and performance.

TL;DR: In this paper, the influence of organizational communication on the relationship between job performance and job satisfaction was explored, and it was found that lateral communication was the strongest predictor of job satisfaction and satisfaction with work.
Abstract: Organizational communication received strong support as a predictor of job sat isfaction and weak support as a moderator of the job performance-job satisfaction relationship in this study. Using data collected from 302 employees at two manu facturing firms, moderated regression analyses explored the influence of organi zational communication on the relationship between job performance and job satisfaction. Lateral communication was found to moderate the relationship between satisfaction with pay and performance, while accuracy of information was shown to moderate the association between satisfaction with work and performance. Communication dimensions with the greatest support as predictors were accuracy of information, desire for interaction, communication load, trust in superior, influence of superior, and satisfaction with communication.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the relationship between job satisfaction, individual job facets, socio-demographic variables and job performance in the Lebanese commercial banking sector and found that job satisfaction is not independent in all job facets and that satisfaction with one facet might lead to satisfaction with another.
Abstract: This paper investigates the relationships between job satisfaction, individual job facets, socio‐demographic variables and job performance in the Lebanese commercial banking sector. The sample consists of 202 employees from nine commercial banks. The results indicate that job satisfaction is not independent in all job facets and that satisfaction with one facet might lead to satisfaction with another. Female employees were found to be less satisfied with all facets except pay. Those with lower educational qualifications were least satisfied. Self‐reported job performance was found to increase with tenure.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined what motivates employees in the retail industry, and examined their level of job satisfaction, using Herzberg's hygiene factors and motivators, and found that hygiene factors were the dominant motivators of sales personnel job satisfaction.
Abstract: This paper examines what motivates employees in the retail industry, and examines their level of job satisfaction, using Herzberg's hygiene factors and motivators. In this study, convenience sampling was used to select sales personnel from women's clothing stores in Bandar Sunway shopping mall in the state of Selangor. The results show that hygiene factors were the dominant motivators of sales personnel job satisfaction. Working conditions were the most significant in motivating sales personnel. Recognition was second, followed by company policy and salary. There is a need to delve more deeply into why salespeople place such a high importance on money. Further analysis was performed to assess how much the love of money mediates the relationship between salary and job satisfaction. Based on the general test for mediation, the love of money could explain the relationship between salary and job satisfaction. The main implication of this study is that sales personnel who value money highly are satisfied with their salary and job when they receive a raise.
