الملخص الإنجليزي
This study addresses the impact of intrinsic and extrinsic motivation on job satisfaction among Oil
fields employees in the Sultanate of Oman. The study examined the relationships between
motivation factors (Extrinsic and Intrinsic) and job satisfaction with gender as a moderator. In
order to examine these relationships, a quantitative basic research strategy was used. A
questionnaire of 25 items has been distributed to 252 employees working in oil field companies
that worked in Oman, i.e., Petroleum Development Oman (PDO), Oman Oil Refineries and
Petroleum Industries Company (ORPIC), Occidental Oman (OXY), Schlumberger Oman and
Mohammed Al-Barwani Group (MB). With the help of the Statistical Package for the Social
Sciences (SPSS V. 23), the questionnaire correspondents data were analyzed and the hypothesis
been tested.
The study found positive relationships between motivation factors (extrinsic and intrinsic) and job
satisfaction. Based on these positive relationships, several recommendations were directed to the
management of oil field companies to understand the capabilities and performance of their
employees and work to motivate them extrinsically by rewarding them for outstanding
performance and appreciate them for accomplishments.
This limitation in this research was shortened on the number of research taken in this field in
Oman. Therefore, to overcome this limitation, studies from outside of Oman were used.
