Abstract:
The study was conducted in the office of a multi-national company that belongs to
one of the largest conglomerates in the Philippines. Through the purposive sampling
method, a 63-question survey instrument was presented to 35 employees who have been
working in the organization for at least three years to test their job embeddedness (in
terms of links, fit, and sacrifice). The study sought to determine whether or not a
correlation exists between the employees’ Job Embeddedness and Work Productivity
within Company X. Included in the scope of the study is the possible mediation of the
employees’ Motivation and Satisfaction.
A quantitative analysis of the obtained data was performed using Pearson’s
Product-Moment Correlation to find correlations between the variables and Linear
Regression to test for mediation. The scores elicited from the analysis show that there is
no significant correlation that exists between Job Embeddedness and Work Productivity.
In addition, there is no sufficient evidence that Motivation & Satisfaction plays the role
Of a mediating variable in the study. However, scores revealed that there is a direct linear
Relationship between Job Embeddedness and Motivation & Satisfaction. These results
and discoveries led to the conclusion that while Job Embeddedness exists among
employees in Company X, it does not have a relationship with their Work Productivity
but rather has a direct relationship with their Motivation and Satisfaction in the
workplace.
