Abstract:
A number of studies have been done in North America and Europe which examined the
role of intrinsic and extrinsic job factors in overall motivation and satisfaction. However, this
field of research has received very small attention, if any, in the Arab region. This research
explores the effects of extrinsic and intrinsic job factors on motivation and satisfaction in the
country of Lebanon. A total of 100 subjects took part in the study. Results showed that while
extrinsic factors have a stronger relationship with motivation and satisfaction than intrinsic
factors, the latter showed a stronger effect on overall motivation when extrinsic job factors were
met. Discussion and implications are presented.
