Relationship Among Compensation, Benefits, Intrinsic Motivators, And Potential Referral Candidates, Nathaniel Ryan O'Bear
Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies
High rates of turnover among truck drivers in the United States limit the abilities of organizations to effectively move freight if organizational leaders cannot efficiently and economically replace drivers. The purpose of this correlational study was to examine the relationship among compensation, benefits, intrinsic motivators, and potential referral recruiting in transportation organizations. Herzberg’s 2-factor theory was the theoretical framework for this study. Secondary data were collected for 566 Class A truck drivers from an Illinois-based partner organization’s 2018 employee satisfaction survey. The results of the multiple linear regression analyses indicated a significant relationship exists, F(3,562) = 258.323, p < .001, R2 = .580, among compensation (β = .231, p < .001), benefits (β = .101, p < .002), intrinsic motivators (β = .554, p < .001), and potential referral recruiting in transportation organizations. Overall, the independent variables accounted for 58% of the variance in the dependent variable with intrinsic motivators having the largest effect. The implication of these findings for positive social change includes equipping business leaders with information about motivational factors for recruiting drivers through referrals, which might increase community employment levels to improve the standard of living.
