- Abstract
- Employees' satisfaction at their workplace is crucial and contributes to more efficient work. Therefore, it is of great interest to understand what predicts employee job satisfaction. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether organizational commitment and the relationship with one's immediate leader (LMX) could predict job satisfaction, and whether organizational commitment could act as a mediator in the relationship between LMX and job satisfaction. The participants (N = 77) are employed in the fire and rescue services and participated through an internet-based survey. The responses were analyzed and through a correlation analysis, and hypotheses H1, H2 and H3 were confirmed, showing a positive correlation between... (More)

The participants (N = 77) are employed in the fire and rescue services and participated through an internet-based survey. The responses were analyzed and through a correlation analysis, and hypotheses H1, H2 and H3 were confirmed, showing a positive correlation between organizational commitment and job satisfaction, between the LMX and job satisfaction, and between organizational commitment and LMX. A regression analysis showed that the predictor variables could predict job satisfaction, confirming H4. Lastly, organizational commitment was tested as a mediator between LMX and job satisfaction, using a hierarchical regression analysis. The results showed that organizational commitment was a partial mediator, which partly confirms H5 as well. The findings from the study contribute to previous research in the field and lead to a deeper understanding of the relationships between the variables. (Less)

- Att anställda trivs på sin arbetsplats är viktigt och bidrar till ett effektivare arbete. Det är därmed av stort intresse att ha kunskap om vad som predicerar arbetstillfredsställelse hos de anställda. Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka i vilken grad organisatoriskt engagemang och medarbetarens relationen till sin närmaste ledare (LMX) kunde predicera arbetstillfredsställelse, samt om organisatoriskt engagemang kunde fungera som en mediator i relationen mellan LMX och arbetstillfredsställelse.
Respondenterna (N = 77) är verksamma inom räddningstjänsten i Sverige, och fick svara på en internetbaserad enkät. Svaren analyserades och genom en korrelationsanalys kunde hypotes H1, H2 och H3 bekräftas, att det finns ett positivt samband...

Respondenterna (N = 77) är verksamma inom räddningstjänsten i Sverige, och fick svara på en internetbaserad enkät. Svaren analyserades och genom en korrelationsanalys kunde hypotes H1, H2 och H3 bekräftas, att det finns ett positivt samband mellan organisatoriskt engagemang och arbetstillfredsställelse, mellan LMX och arbetstillfredsställelse, samt mellan organisatoriskt engagemang och LMX. En regressionsanalys visade att prediktorvariablerna kunde predicera arbetstillfredsställelse, vilket ger stöd åt H4. Slutligen testades även organisatoriskt engagemang som mediator mellan LMX och arbetstillfredsställelse, vilket gjordes genom en hierarkisk linjär regressionsanalys. Resultatet visade att organisatoriskt engagemang agerade som en partiell mediator, vilket därmed delvis stödjer hypotes H5. Fynden från undersökningen bidrar till den tidigare forskningen i området och leder till en djupare förståelse för relationerna mellan variablerna. (Less)
