The Relationship of Achievement Motivation and Employee Satisfaction
Motivational variables and job satisfaction variables are still considered identical variables for
some circles. But both of them are different even though both involve emotional responses.
Motivation is a behavioral action that might come back with a certain emotional response while
job satisfaction is an emotional response that will produce a broad behavioral action towards
the work environment. Job satisfaction is the attitude of the experienced object while
motivation is the behavior of the identified object. To strengthen this argument, a study was
conducted to observe the application of the two variables. This study aims to determine the
relationship between the variables of achievement motivation and employee job satisfaction
variables. The sampling technique uses purposive sampling. Samples were set as many as 85
employees from the production department which were used as respondents. Data analysis
techniques using the Spearman Rank correlation test and processed with SPPS software. The
findings of the study stated that the variable of achievement motivation and job satisfaction
variable had a direct or positive and very strong relationship. The higher the level of job
satisfaction, the higher the motivation for employee achievement and vice versa.
Keywords: job satisfaction, achievement motivation, human resources.
