Purpose

This study aims to examine the influences of transformational leadership, job enrichment and recognition on employee job satisfaction in non-profit organizations.

Design/methodology/approach

An empirical study was conducted on employees working in United Malays National Organization (UMNO). Data was collected from 226 employees via self-administered questionnaires. The convenience sampling method was applied for participant selection, and data was analysed using Pearson’s correlation and multiple regression analysis via statistical package for the social sciences.

Findings

Job enrichment, transformational leadership and recognition were all found to have significant and positive relationships with job satisfaction.

Practical implications

The findings imply that job satisfaction will improve if managers are motivated to promote job enrichment, transformational leadership and employee recognition programs. These steps will augment the organization’s effort to design and implement the best strategies for enhancing employees’ job satisfaction.

Originality/value

This study elaborates on transformational leadership, job enrichment and recognition in relation to job satisfaction. The insights it provides are novel due to the lack of research on the combination of these attributes. The study’s model was tested on UMNO, a non-profit organization in Malaysia that plays a significant role in Malaysian politics. Hence, this study provides a valuable addition to the literature on Malaysia. The study’s model was supported by transformational leadership theory and social exchange theory, making it another significant contribution to the body of literature.

设计/方法/途径

对在马来民族团结组织（UMNO）工作的员工进行了实证研究。数据是通过自填问卷从 226 名员工那里收集的。采用方便抽样法进行参与者选择，并通过社会科学统计包使用 Pearson 相关和多元回归分析对数据进行分析。

发现

工作丰富化、变革型领导和认可都被发现与工作满意度有显着的正相关关系。

实际影响

调查结果表明，如果管理者有动力促进工作充实、变革型领导和员工认可计划，工作满意度将会提高。这些步骤将加强组织设计和实施提高员工工作满意度的最佳战略的努力。

原创性/价值
