IMPACT OF AGENTIC WORK BEHAVIORS ON JOB SATISFACTION AND LIFE SATISFACTION: AN EMPIRICAL STUDY OF TEACHERS IN HEI OF BALOCHISTAN

Abstract

The main objective of this study is to determine the impact of two agentic work behaviors (task focus and heedful relating) on job and life satisfaction among a sample of 210 full time employed university teachers in the public and private sector universities of Balochistan. Data for the present study were gathered by distributing self-administered questionnaire among the participants. The results were analyzed by using SPSS 20 software. Pearson correlation coefficient and Multiple Linear Regression were applied to determine the impact of independent variables on dependent variables. Correlations results indicated the positive significant relationship among task focus, heedful relating, job satisfaction and life satisfaction. Moreover, the Linear Regression analysis showed that both task focus and heedful relating work behaviours have their positive impact on job and life satisfaction. These findings imply that organizations should reconstruct their policies in such a manner that must endeavor and encourage the employees to practice agentic work behaviors at workplace so that they are both physically and mentally healthy.
