“Examining the Impact of Performance Evaluation and Working Environment on Job Satisfaction: A Quantitative Analysis of Staff at Guangdong Foreign Trade Corporation, China”
Abstract
job satisfaction among staff at Guangdong Foreign Trade Corporation (GDFTC). Utilizing a cross-sectional research design, a stratifi ed
random sample of 389 staff members participated in the survey. Data were collected using the Job Descriptive Index, Perceived Performance
Evaluation Fairness Scale, and the Work Environment Scale. Structural equation modeling revealed that both fair performance evaluations
(β = 0.42, p < .001) and a positive working environment (β = 0.35, p < .001) signifi cantly contribute to job satisfaction. Further, the working
environment was found to partially mediate the relationship between performance evaluation and job satisfaction (z = 3.92, p < .001). These
findings highlight the importance of cultivating a positive working environment and maintaining fairness in performance assessments,
providing empirical insights that can guide strategies to improve job satisfaction and enhance organizational performance.
