The result showed that age and length of service of workers have a significant direct impact to work motivation and organizational climate has also a positive influence to work motivation. Work motivation directly impacts job satisfaction. While the results showed that age and organizational climate have no statistically significant direct impact to job satisfaction, both variables have a significant indirect impact to job satisfaction through the mediating role of work motivation.

The model was robust, addressing concerns about multivariate assumptions and other measures on the goodness of fit. It was found that the number of natural resources of economic importance plays a large role in the GDP performance. Thus, the preliminary symptom of Dutch disease continues to manifest for as long as each country aims for development, with their resources as ultimate enticing factors for foreign direct investment (FDI). In addition, economic growth is so far observed to be associated with the vulnerability of the country to climate change. Finally, economic growth was found to be linked to the negative impac...

While Facebook is widely studied in its effectiveness, relevant empirical evidence on how it works as a free marketing tool after the new rules and policies were set has to be explored further. Besides, attempts to discuss customer behavior on Facebook were varied, but the personal context of preference in line with emotions and needs remain less explored. Thus, this study attempted to understand consumer behavior at the personal context towards posted threads on Facebook using articles with contents on emotions and needs. Using a negative binomial regression analysis, organic reach was found to improve the traffic of the blog. Employing a graphical trend presentation, the revenue of the blog was shown to have substantially improved. In addition, threads linked to human emotions were found to have su...
