Book excerpt: Institutions of Higher Learning are not just centers of academic endeavors but also environments in which other forms of interactions take place. The main objective of assessing the job characteristics and job satisfaction employees in selected Dominican-run institutions is to critically assess the internal environment of the employees. A proper analysis in the study is important to employers in terms of deepining their understanding of the role intrinsic motivation plays in employee satisfaction and psychological well-being in the workplace. Drawing upon the Job Characteristics Model (J.R. Hackman & G.R. Oldham, 1976) the study focused on proposing a program for an enhanced intrinsic motivation in the workplace by highlighting, articulating and assessing the job characteristics and job satisfaction of the 228 respondents in the four Dominican-run institutions within Metro manila. Job Diagnostic Survey (JDS, 1976) and the Minnesota Satisfaction Questionnaires (MSQ 1977) were used to measure the Job Characteristics and Job Satisfaction of the respondents, respectively. The respondents were only those on regular employment and non-academic. Results indicated that although there is some remarkable difference in the job characteristics and job satisfaction of the respondents (the two measurable variables) yet there is a 2-tailed correlation between them. A program for the enhancement of an intrinsic motivation was proposed from the analyzed results.
