Abstract

The research work was motivated by the need to explore mediating factors for job satisfaction and adequate performance among 149 employees whose job is to provide rescue and emergency services to the population living in the Tshwane geographical region of South Africa. The research revealed that about 77% of employees experienced job satisfaction by the standards of Berman (2015), whereas the remaining 23% of employees did not. Results obtained from multivariate analysis identified 2 influential predictors of job satisfaction. These factors were stability at the workplace and the availability of a variety of functions.
