Influence of motivation and job satisfaction on job performance in Mexican industrial microenterprises

Abstract

The main objective of this paper is to analyze the relationship between motivation variables and job satisfaction in job performance. The hypothesis of this study is that there is a relationship between motivation and job satisfaction with job performance. This study has a quantitative approach, with a descriptive, correlational and explanatory scope. The design is non-experimental and cross-sectional. The object of study are industrial companies with less than 10 workers in a municipality in the south of the state of Sonora in Mexico. The subject of study were the workers of the operational areas of said companies. An instrument with a Likert-type scale was designed, which was submitted to statistical tests to determine its validity and reliability. One contribution is that only one investigation was found regarding small and medium-sized companies in which job satisfaction is positively related to the performance of workers, which was carried out by Soomro and Shah (2019). No one made in Mexico was found.
