Abstract

Purpose: This study examines the effects of job security and work system on work motivation among Government Employees with Work Agreements (PPPK), with job satisfaction as a mediating variable at the Human Resource Development Agency (BPSDM) of South Sulawesi Province.


Research Method: A quantitative causal-associative design was employed. Data were collected through questionnaires from all 44 PPPK employees using saturated sampling. The variables included job security, work system, job satisfaction, and work motivation. Data were analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling–Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS).


Results and Discussion: Job security and work system positively and significantly affect job satisfaction but have no significant direct effect on work motivation. Job satisfaction positively affects work motivation and significantly mediates the effects of both job security and the work system on it.


Implications: Public sector organizations should strengthen job security and improve work systems to enhance job satisfaction and sustain employee motivation. Future studies may examine additional organizational and individual factors influencing PPPK motivation.


Originality: This study extends the public human resource management literature by demonstrating the mediating role of job satisfaction in the relationships between job security and work motivation, and between work system and work motivation, within the underexplored PPPK context.
