Utilized three well-established instruments: Family Motivation Scale (FMS), Pay Satisfaction Questionnaire (PSQ), and Organisational Citizenship Behaviour Questionnaire (OCBQ) to measure family motivation, pay satisfaction, and organisational citizenship behaviour, respectively
Employed a correlation research design and multiple regression analysis to explore the relationships between family motivation, pay satisfaction, and organisational citizenship behaviour
Found significant positive correlations between organisational citizenship behaviour and both family motivation and pay satisfaction
Highlighted the joint predictive value of family motivation and pay satisfaction on organisational citizenship behaviour, providing valuable insights for human resource management and organizations.
