This study explores the dynamic relationship among motivation, work performance, organizational commitment, and job satisfaction as well as drivers of each of them. Main goal of this study is to understand what factors motivates people better and increase their (i) work performance, (ii) organizational commitment, and (iii) job satisfaction. For this purpose, this study is focused on the factors influencing motivation, work performance, organizational commitment, and job satisfaction. Although the previous research was abundant, there was no research directly focused on four of them at the same time. Moreover, there wasn't a single model to tell about how to increase the level of those focused four variables at the same time. This study (i) combined the empirical data of the related literature to create a model, (ii) then simplified the combined model to create a simple testable literature model, and (iii) tested the simplified literature model. A certain type of section in Organization X was focused to test the model. The actual model-in-use created after conducting interviews with the members of that specific type of section. For the final step, the differences between simplified literature model and actual model-in-use was discussed and recommendations were given. A total of ten independent variables were determined after analysis of interview data. The nine of the independent variables in the actual model-in-use was matched with the independent variables of the simplified literature model. The actual model-in-use has a new independent variable. As the last step of the research, recommendations were formed according to interview data or personal experience; to close the gap. by Abdullah Isik.
