Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic caused organizations to rapidly shift to teleworking leaving some employees feeling more satisfied than others with their jobs. This research proposes a model to explain job satisfaction for teleworkers based on components of Self-Determination Theory and Job Crafting Theory. We hypothesize the relationship between job crafting and job satisfaction is mediated through autonomy need satisfaction. Additionally, we posit a moderating effect of relatedness need satisfaction on the relationship between autonomy need satisfaction and job satisfaction. In this cross-sectional study, we analyzed survey data from 156 teleworkers on scales pertaining to these four variables. The results showed support for a partial mediation effect of autonomy need satisfaction between job crafting and job satisfaction. Although no significant moderating effect was found for relatedness satisfaction. The discussion explores possible points of improvement for future iterations of this study and offers explanations toward the nonsignificant moderation effect. The findings of this study can help organizations better assist the needs of teleworkers and develop effective and satisfying remote work policies going forward.
