Structural equation modeling as a statistical technique and WarpPLS as a statistical tool was used to verify the proposed relationships. The findings of the study suggest that participation in decision making had a positive and significant relationship with job satisfaction.

Following this logic, the attitude considered for present study is job satisfaction and the behaviour is employee job performance. Previous studies have either provided minimal or no relationship bteween job satisfaction and employee job performance. Enough research has been conducted to understand direct relationship, however literature suggests that there exist influence of other variables such as organizational tenure, cognitive ability, need for achievement, career stage, and pressure for performance on the proposed relationship. It can be drawn from the existing literature that an employee satisfied with his/her job situation is expected to demonstrate better job performance. However, a well-being employee is more likely than those less well-being strives to foster and facilitate increased level of job performance. As a result, recent research has increasingly come to recognize the importance of possible moderator variable, leading to expressive and meaningful relationship between job satisfaction and job performance. To that expiration, it has been proposed that subjective wellbeing moderates the relation between job satisfaction and job performance relationship. Possible managerial implications and scope for further research have been placed in the paper. © Serials Publications Pvt. Ltd.Item Does job satisfaction help in understanding automotive employees' turnover intention?(Associated Management Consultants Pvt. Ltd. editor@indianjournalofmarketing.com, 2017) Giri, V.N.; Kumar, S.; Rajesh, V.The present paper explored the mediation effect of job satisfaction (JS) on the relationship between subjective well-being (SWB), affective organizational commitment (AOC), employee performance (PRFM), and turnover intention (Tl). Data were collected from 457 employees working in various automotive industries across India. Structural equation modelling (SEM) technique using WarpPLS 5.0 was used to verify the proposed hypotheses. The results revealed that SWB, AOC, and JS significantly influenced employee turnover intention and JS acted as a potential mediator between SWB, AOC, PRFM, and Tl. The findings are pertinent for the managers of the automotive industries since it would help them to reduce employee turnover intention. Implications of the findings were discussed in greater detail in the discussion section of the paper.
