Abstract:
This research investigated the correlation between job perception and both intrinsic and extrinsic job satisfaction among fast-food restaurant managers. Utilizing a descriptive-correlation research design, the study involved 20 regular managers from fast-food establishments. Data were collected through surveys and face-to-face informal interviews with 20 purposively selected respondents aged 21-45 years. The analysis employed Pearson correlation to examine the relationships between job perception and satisfaction variables. Findings revealed a very strong positive correlation between job perception and both types of job satisfaction. Managers who perceived their roles as fulfilling, well-aligned with their expectations, and supportive of their skills reported higher levels of both intrinsic and extrinsic satisfaction. Specifically, job aspects such as personal fulfillment, recognition, and alignment with personal values strongly correlated with high intrinsic satisfaction. Similarly, factors like competitive salary, job security, and a supportive work environment were closely linked with higher extrinsic satisfaction. The results underscored that positive job perception significantly enhances both intrinsic and extrinsic job satisfaction, reflecting the critical role of managers’ views on their roles in determining their overall job satisfaction and motivation. The study suggests that fast-food restaurant operators should focus on improving job perception by enhancing both intrinsic and extrinsic factors. This includes providing meaningful work experiences, recognizing managers’ contributions, ensuring competitive compensation, and fostering a supportive work environment. By addressing these areas, organizations can improve managerial satisfaction, reduce turnover, and enhance overall operational effectiveness.
