Abstract

The purpose of this study is to determine the simultaneous role or influence of work engagement (WE) and organizational citizenship behavior (OCB) on job motivation. Data were collected through a saturated sampling technique, involving all 137 employees at a tertiary university in Indonesia. The data were collected using a questionnaire adapted and translated into Indonesian, ensuring validity and reliability. The predictive correlational design was adopted to examine relationships between the independent variables, work engagement and OCB, and the dependent variable, job motivation, based on the Cronbach's alpha values of 0.828, 0.909, and 0.908, respectively. The partial findings from the T-test analysis show that work engagement partially serves as a predictor of job motivation; the partial findings also indicate that organizational citizenship behaviors also serve as predictors. The results of the hypothesis testing analysis also show that the partial results from the t-test indicate that both work engagement, organizational citizenship, and job motivation are independent variables. The findings of the research contribute to the field by providing a nuanced understanding of how WE and OCBC simultaneously influence job motivation within the context of employees at the company.
