| Summary: | The role of leadership in the Oman water sector is of paramount importance due to its
impact on employees carrying out their responsibilities with sound professional and
productive efficiency. Many previous studies indicated the importance of raising
employees' productivity, especially in public service institutions. Furthermore, some OWS
reports had supported the importance of paying attention to some motivational factors
among employees. Thus, this study aims to examine the impact of the leadership role and
motivational factors on employees’ productivity in the Oman Water Sector and analyzes
the mediating influence of the motivation towards the relationship between leadership role
and employees’ productivity. Accordingly, four study objectives and four research
questions were formulated to reveal this relationship, in addition to developing four research hypothesis. This study is an exploratory research design based on quantitative
research. Thus, based on previous literature related to the research topic, a particular model
has been drawn up for this study. It shows the relationship between the independent variable
that represented by the leadership role and the dependent variable that defined by
employees' productivity. A mediator variable of motivation has been used to analyze its
impact between the independent and dependent variables. For this study, a research
questionnaire has been prepared using the relevant previous literature and arbitrated by
some academic people. The questionnaire was tested by sending it to a sample of the study
population. Then, its validity and reliability have been tested by measuring the Alpha
Cronbach level, which achieved high grades for all the dimensions included in the
questionnaire. The stratified random sampling has been used since the study population
consists of two organizations in the Omani water sector. Therefore, 340 responses have
collected from the respondents. This study used the Statistical Package for Social Sciences
(SPSS) version 24 to test the primary analysis. The data has been analyzed using SPSS. It
is along with constructive statistic standard deviation calculations, Pearson correlation
coefficients, t-Test, factor analysis, and ANOVA to identify the individuals' differences
according to their demographic variables. Besides, version 3.2 of Smart-PLS has been used
to evaluate the measurement model, structural model and mediator variable analysis of the
study. The study results indicated that there was a positive influence in the relationship of
the leadership role and motivation factors of the employees' productivity. Moreover, this
study found that there was a positive mediating influence of motivation in the relationship
between the leadership role and the employee's productivity. Therefore, these results
concluded that the OWS need to pay more attention to the leadership role and motivational
factors provided to their employees due to their positive influence on the employees’
productivity. |
