Meta-Analysis: Job Satisfaction and Job Performance Moderated by National Economic Development and Performance Scales

Abstract

Job satisfaction and job performance are some of the most researched topics in the organizational literature. These have prompted academics to test the strength of this relationship with meta-analysis. However, some academics state that job satisfaction contributes to job performance while others say that it might be that job performance leads to job satisfaction. The most probable explanation is that this relationship is affected by moderators and mediators. This paper tests the moderators of national economic development (developed vs developing countries) and the moderator of self vs other-rated job performance in a meta-analysis study.
