Abstract

The aim of this study was designing and testing model of the effect of knowledge motivation characteristic on motivational processes with mediating role of psychological empowerment, promotion regulatory focus and learning goal orientation employees of Khuzestan Steel Co. The statistical population included employees of Khuzestan Steel Company. A sample of 350 persons was selected through stratified random sampling. Job characteristics (Morgeson & Homphery), learning goal orientation (VandeWalle), Psychological Empowerment (Spreitzer), Promotion Regulatory Focus (Wallace), Goal Generation (Bindel) and Goal Striving (Bindel et al) questionnaires were used. The path analysis method was used through AMOS-23 and SPSS-23 software packages for data analysis. also Preacher and Hayes Bootstrap procedure was used for testing indirect hypotheses in the proposed model. The findings of the study indicated that the proposed model fit the data relatively proper. Better fit and more significant results were obtained by correlating the errors of the two paths proposed AMOS modification indices. The results of the study confirmed direct hypothesis. In the case of indirect relationships, the results showed that all of the indirect hypotheses were confirmed. In addition the result showed that motivational states (psychological empowerment, promotion regulatory focus and learning goal orientation) have an indirect effect on the relationship between knowledge motivation characteristic and motivational processes (goal generation and goal striving). Also, the results showed that knowledge motivation characteristic had the positive effect on Motivational processes and ultimately organizational outputs.
