The relationship between rewards and motivation on job performance within small businesses: The mediating role of job satisfaction and moderating role of organizational justice

Abstract

Small businesses significantly contribute to local economies despite their size and limited resources. However, the literature has not thoroughly examined how small businesses can maximize their overall performance. Therefore, this study proposes the investigation of key variables such as rewards, employee motivation, employee job satisfaction, and organizational justice when attempting to increase job performance within small businesses. Understanding these variables will assist small business owners when managing their already limited resources to address performance within the business. Scales from reliable small business studies were selected and presented to guide researchers when investigating the relationships. Lastly, this paper proposed the idea for researchers to develop recommendations and implications for small business owners.
