Job satisfaction is considered as an important factor for increasing efficiency and individual satisfaction in the organization. The purpose of this study was to test the structural model of positive organizational behavior and job satisfaction with the mediating role of job stressors.
Methods: The present study was a cross-sectional and correlational study using structural equation modeling (SEM). The sample consisted of 165 employees that working in university of Bojnord, who were selected by simple random sampling method. Participants in this study were measured using occupational stress, job satisfaction and positive organizational behavior questionnaires. Reliability and validity all of the questionnaires were accepted. Structural equation modeling (SEM) through Amos-23 and SPSS-23 software packages was used for data analysis. In addition, Bootstrup was used for testing mediation.
Results: The results showed that the proposed model fits the data properly. Positive organizational behavior has a direct effect on job satisfaction and job stressors (p<0.0001). Also, the mediating effect of job stressors in the relationship between positive organizational behavior and job satisfaction was confirmed (p<0.0001).
