Research Questions & Hypotheses
In implementing the motivational-hygiene theory to examine job satisfaction among newspaper journalists, several research questions and hypotheses have been developed:
RQ1: How will the variables overall job satisfaction, work-family conflict, role overload, social support, job demands and perceived organizational support correlate?
RQ2: How will journalists rate on the MOAQ’s job satisfaction scale?
H1: Journalists who report high levels of Herzberg’s motivators (perceived organizational support and social support) will report high levels of overall job satisfaction.
H2: Journalists who report high levels of Herzberg’s hygienes (role overload, work-family conflict and job demands) will report high levels of overall job dissatisfaction.
H3: Journalists who rate lower in overall job satisfaction and the Herzberg’s motivation factors are more likely to express intentions to leave journalism than those who rate high in job satisfaction and motivation factors.
