Abstract
Purpose – The purpose of this study was to explore the role of psychological capital in the relationship between organizational commitment and job satisfaction among academics at Universitas Jambi Indonesia.
Design/methodology/approach- This research was conducted using an inferential design. In this study, a cross-sectional approach was used because data were collected at a one-time point.
This study involved 183 academic staff of Universitas Jambi Indonesia, who were willing to participate voluntarily by filling online questionnaire. Data analysis was conducted into two sections; the first section analyzed the respondent's profile and presented the frequency and percentage distribution of the respondent's profile. The second section was hypothesis testing with two stages, namely PLS Algorithm to see the quality of the data and PLS Bootstrapping to test the hypothesis of the proposed research model. The Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) MS-Windows version 23 and Partial Least Square (Smart PLS-3 software was used to analyze the data.
Findings – The results show that job satisfaction has a positive impact on organizational commitment and the PsyCap helps to mediate this relationship. PsyCap plays a mediation role that helped to enhance the impact of job satisfaction on organizational commitment of academic staff.
Research limitations/implications – The online cross-sectional survey design allows for the self-assessment of respondents’ data. The consequence is that response bias persists, although post-sampling statistical test was carried out to screen the data to reduce it. Therefore, a more qualitative method with a longitudinal design and a larger research sample is recommended for further research.
Practical implications - University and faculty leaders need to pay more attention to increasing job satisfaction and increasing the academic staff's organizational commitment. The leaders should encourage academic staff to increase self-efficacy, hope, optimism, and resilience to improve their PsyCap.
