The Impact of Motivation on Achieving Organizational Excellence: Job Satisfaction as A Mediating Variable (An Empirical Study at The Vocational College in Al-Buraimi)

Abstract

This study aimed to explore the impact of motivation on organizational excellence among employees at the Professional College in Al-Buraimi, while examining the mediating role of job satisfaction in the relationship between motivation and organizational excellence. The study relied on a descriptive analytical approach to collect and analyze data. The study tool was distributed to all employees at the Al-Buraimi Vocational College through a comprehensive survey of 123 employees, from which 115 valid questionnaires were retrieved for analysis. A set of statistical methods were used via the SPSS program to verify the validity and reliability of the tool, test the hypotheses, and measure the effect of the mediating variable. The results showed that motivation contributes positively to enhancing organizational excellence among employees. They also showed that motivation has a positive effect on job satisfaction, reflecting the importance of motivational practices in improving employee experiences within the work environment. The results also revealed that job satisfaction plays an important mediating role between motivation and organizational excellence, indicating that the effect of motivation is not fully reflected in institutional performance outcomes except through raising the level of job satisfaction among employees. Based on these findings, the study recommends strengthening human resource management strategies that support the development of a motivating and fair work environment, focusing on practices that empower employees and make them feel valued, which will lead to higher levels of satisfaction and ultimately to sustainable organizational excellence. The study also suggests conducting future research in different professional environments or using mixed methodologies to enhance understanding of the dynamics of the relationship between the variables under study.
