| Summary: | This study aims to test the impact of the organization learning culture and leader members
exchange on human resource management and their subsequent role in job
satisfaction. This study followed the quantitative approach, where the data was collected
via the adopted questionnaire from past studies and distributed electronically to the
targeted sample size. The study sample consisted of administrative employees working
in various governmental departments and used a stratified random sampling technique.
This technique gave each participant equal opportunity and an equal sample
representative in the study. The psychometric properties of the instruments were tested
via experts’ comments, while the internal consistencies were examined through
Cronbach’s alpha. The results of the internal consistency suggested that the instruments
were appropriate and suitable for any academic exercises since the values of Cronbach’
alpha ranged between for individual factors ranged between .811 to .955, while its value
for individual items ranged between .80 to .93, which indicated appropriateness and
suitability of the instruments. Several statistical methods were used to analyse the
collected data, such as Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) and Structural Equation
Modeling (SEM). It was found that organisational learning culture and leader-member
exchange positively and directly predict employee job satisfaction and indirectly via
human resources management. The result of the analysis also revealed the existence of
a positive and significant relationship between human resource management and job
satisfaction. As was previously highlighted, human resource management played a
pivotal role in mediating between the organization learning culture and leader-members
exchange on the one hand and job satisfaction on the other. Therefore, the findings
significantly imply that enhancing human resource management practices would boost
employees’ job satisfaction in government sector institutions. Hence, it is recommended
that new strategies and policies are needed in human resources management to promote
government sector institutions’ employees in the Sultanate of Oman to ensure and
enhance their satisfaction and establish a quality job environment, which may help
employees in various institutions to adapt to the rapid global movement. |
