Determinant Motivation and Path Career: Analysis Competence, Job Satisfaction and Leadership
Purpose: The purpose of this study is to explore the relationship between motivation, career paths, competence, job satisfaction, and leadership within organizations, as outlined in a review of twenty-five peer-reviewed journal articles.
Research Methodology: This study employed a qualitative research approach using a mini-review methodology. A total of twenty-five peer-reviewed journal articles were selected and analyzed to achieve the research objectives. The articles were reviewed and summarized, highlighting key findings related to the variables of interest.
Results: The analysis revealed significant connections among motivation, career paths, competence, job satisfaction, and leadership. Leadership was found to play a crucial role in influencing employee motivation and career development. However, no study reviewed combined all the variables in a single research model, pointing out a gap in the literature.
Conclusions: This study concludes that leadership, competence, and job satisfaction are critical factors in motivating employees and influencing their career paths. Despite this, there is a lack of comprehensive research models that integrate these variables, which opens up opportunities for future studies.
Limitations: This study is limited by its qualitative nature, as it relies solely on secondary data from previous studies. Future research should focus on longitudinal and empirical studies that integrate these variables into a unified framework to better understand their interactions in organizational settings.
Contributions: This study contributes to the field by offering a synthesis of existing literature and providing valuable insights for future research in human resource management. It helps in understanding the interplay between motivation, leadership, competence, and job satisfaction in shaping employees’ career trajectories.
