Extrinsic satisfaction as antecedent of subjective well-being to increase managers’ job performance
Manuel Soto-Pérez & Hugo Briseño
Abstract
Purpose The study examined whether intrinsic satisfaction, as well as extrinsic satisfaction, influenced subjective well-being (SWB). It also analysed whether SWB affects work performance, using self-efficacy and engagement as mediating variables. This approach allows us to propose a framework ranging from emotional perception to attitudes and, finally, behaviours. Design/methodology/approach Information was collected from 136 Mexican managers, who self-reported their job satisfaction, SWB and self-efficacy. Their level of engagement and job performance was evaluated by their direct supervisor. With this data, a PLS-SEM model was constructed to validate the relationships between constructs. Findings It was found that intrinsic satisfaction did not have a significant influence on SWB, but that extrinsic satisfaction did have a significant impact on SWB. In turn, SWB positively and significantly affects work performance through the mediation of self-efficacy and engagement. Originality/value This study provides empirical evidence on the differential role of extrinsic and intrinsic satisfaction in shaping managers' SWB and performance, using a multi-source design in an emerging economy context.
