📖 Appraisal Satisfaction, Intrinsic Motivation and Employee Outcomes. Empirical Evidences from Nepali Insurance Industry.

This study has examined the three different relationships of performance appraisal satisfaction to employee outcomes (work performance, affective organizational commitment, and turnover intention) a direct, moderated, and mediated by intrinsic motivation. One of the novel contribution of this study is that intrinsic motivation antagonistically moderated the relationship of performance appraisal satisfaction with affective organizational commitment; where relatively negative strong prediction of performance appraisal satisfaction on affective organizational commitment was for those employees who had a high level of intrinsic motivation and vice versa. Likewise, another contribution is the effect size of the intrinsic motivation in the relationship of performance appraisal satisfaction to affective organizational commitment and turnover intention. Out of total effected size of performance appraisal satisfaction to affective organizational commitment and turnover intention; respectively 38% and 12% effect size went through the intrinsic motivation.
