ABSTRACT: This study aims to investigate the impact of the
applying of good governance principles on job satisfaction among employees
working in the public sector in Jordan. The study population consisted of all
public sector employees who are subject to the Civil Service Code (219,000
employees), where the analysis and sampling unit included all job titles. The
study sample size was 384 employees, with 315 returned questionnaires, and 308
questionnaires analyzed after excluding the questionnaires that are not
suitable for analysis. The study found a statistically significant impact of
applying good governance principles collectively (transparency, justice and
equality, accountability, participation, and integrity) in each dimension of
job satisfaction separately (salaries and compensations, direct supervision,
training programs, promotions, and performance evaluation) to varying degrees.
The results showed a statistically significant effect of applying good
governance principles on job satisfaction among employees in the public sector
in Jordan.
