The relationship between job satisfaction and performance at work: case of Tunisian accounting firms

Abstract

Research on the impact of satisfaction on job performance has proliferated over the last few years; however, the results are deemed inconclusive. Here, a total of 240 accounting professionals participated in this study through a questionnaire survey. The four career stages were integrated into our model as a moderating variable of the relationship between job satisfaction and performance. The results prove that the further we move through career stages, the stronger the relationship between satisfaction and performance at work is.
