ABSTRACT

This study employs structural equation modeling to analyze and verify the impact of wage earners' metacognitive thinking on job satisfaction, considering the mediating effects of major congruence and self-decision-making ability. The analysis is based on data from the Korea Employment Education Panel II(KEEP II). The study sample consists of 429 wage earners who were selected based on specific criteria: they hold a college degree or higher, completed the variables for work type and workplace size without any missing values, are subscribed to all four major insurance policies, and are employed full-time. The findings reveal that metacognitive thinking has a significant direct impact on job satisfaction. Additionally, major congruence and self-decision-making ability were found to have a significant partial mediating effect in the relationship between metacognitive thinking and job satisfaction. In conclusion, the study suggests that problem-solving within organizations can be enhanced by understanding the challenges faced by various types of workers and by improving evaluation and reward systems that account for workers' metacognitive abilities. Ultimately, these improvements are expected to positively impact organizational productivity and work performance.
