Employees’ Occupational Well-Being Within the Job Demands-Resources Theory
Employees’ Occupational Well-Being Within the Job Demands-Resources Theory

Summary/Abstract: This study investigates the relationship between mastery goal orientation and job satisfaction within the job demands-resources (JD-R) theory, as well as the moderating role of job demands in this relationship. It also examines the relationship between job demands and fatigue and explores whether mastery goal orientation moderates this relationship. Survey data were collected from blue-collar employees working in hazelnut-processing businesses in the Turkish provinces of Ordu and Giresun, yielding 307 usable responses from six organizations. The hypotheses were tested using OLS regression analyses that included interaction terms. The findings indicate that mastery goal orientation positively predicts job satisfaction, whereas the moderating effect of job demands on this relationship is not supported. Additionally, job demands positively predict personal fatigue, and mastery goal orientation moderates this effect. Overall, the results suggest that the theoretical scope of the JD-R theory may be extended by incorporating different outcome variables and resources.
