This paper reports the results of studying the relationship between self-rated performance and job satisfaction among government employees in the United Arab Emirates. The paper also addresses the effects of some moderating variables such as gender, age, tenure, marital status, position and nationality on the relationship between performance and satisfaction. Data from 382 employees working at nine government offices were analyzed using reliability, factor analysis, correlation and regression analyses. The results indicated no significant relationship between self-rated performance and overall job satisfaction. However, self-rated performance, position and nationality were significant factors affecting some job satisfaction facets (i.e., pay and benefits, professional development, and work environment). In addition, age, gender, and marital status had no effect on overall satisfaction or its facets.

Abstract


This paper reports the results of studying the relationship between self-rated performance and job satisfaction among government employees in the United Arab Emirates. The paper also addresses the effects of some moderating variables such as gender, age, tenure, marital status, position and nationality on the relationship between performance and satisfaction. Data from 382 employees working at nine government offices were analyzed using reliability, factor analysis, correlation and regression analyses. The results indicated no significant relationship between self-rated performance and overall job satisfaction. However, self-rated performance, position and nationality were significant factors affecting some job satisfaction facets (i.e., pay and benefits, professional development, and work environment). In addition, age, gender, and marital status had no effect on overall satisfaction or its facets.
