| Abstract
|
:
|
This quantitative causal-comparative analysis was based on an online Minnesota Satisfaction Questionnaire (MSQ) administered to employees of a Nigerian petroleum exploration and production company. The objectives of this research were (1) to investigate the impact of gender on employee motivation and job satisfaction (2) to establish any possible moderating effect of employees’ years of job experience on the impact of gender on employee motivation and job satisfaction. The online survey was administered to 925 employees of the organization from which 170 complete responses were received consisting of 131 males and 39 females. One hundred and forty-two respondents had more than 10 years of job experience whereas the remaining 28 respondents had years of job experience that were less than or equal to 10. Although this study revealed that females were less satisfied than males on the intrinsic, extrinsic, and general motivation and job satisfaction scales, such differences were found not to be statistically significant based on Chi-square test results. Moreover, based on the Haye’s Process Macro, the corresponding moderating effects of employees’ years of job experience on the impact of gender on employees’ intrinsic, extrinsic, and general job satisfaction were found not to be statistically significant. Consequently, the recommendations are (1) to conduct organization-specific research on the subject to guide decisions on a case by case basis, and (2) to perform a meta-analysis of all existing research on the subject which could potentially reveal similar trends and outcomes for specific groups of organizations.
