The study examines the impact of critical organizational factors (organizational <\/span>culture<span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> and excellent leader performance) on public relations professionals&#8217; overall job satisfaction by focusing on testing the joint mediating effects work engagement and trust could generate. A national online survey of 838 public relations professionals working in a variety of organizations was used as the empirical data to test the relationships in a proposed conceptual model. Results confirmed the strong impact organizational <\/span>culture<span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> and leader performance could have on public relations professionals&#8217; work engagement, trust, and job satisfaction. More importantly, results revealed the significant joint mediating effects of engagement and trust on professionals&#8217; job satisfaction, when supportive organizational <\/span>culture<span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> and excellent leader performance were achieved. The study concludes with research and practical implications\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The article\u2019s topic is about how organizational conditions affect a professionals\u2019 work engagement and trust on professionals\u2019 job satisfaction as a classic employee. The research question is \u201chow does organizational conditions affect an employee\u2019s job satisfaction and productivity?\u201d The type of data that is required for this research topic is reports of acts, behaviors, and events; organizational data, and shallow opinions. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">They used reports of acts, behaviors, and events, as well as shallow opinions and attitudes.<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400\">They conducted a national online survey of public relations professionals in the U.S. to test proposed relationships.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">I think that this is a very valid piece of research. I think that the sample size was large enough, the data collection methods were correct and I found the topic to be very interesting. With that being said, and the author even touches on this point in their journal, the survey didn\u2019t produce qualitative data, so the findings were rather limiting. In depth interviews would have overcome this limitation. I think that the findings of this research could be applied to any organization or situation, not solely to businesses. The study confirms the strong effects of organizational culture and leader performance <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">on public relations professionals\u2019 work engagement and trust, with an ultimate goal of increased job satisfaction.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Being able to take the information from this survey and apply it to all aspects of life can be very valuable.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Meng, Juan. \u201cThe Impact of Organizational Culture and Leadership Performance on PR Professionals\u2019 Job Satisfaction: Testing the Joint Mediating Effects of Engagement and Trust.\u201d Public Relations Review 45.1 (2019): 64\u201375.
