In Equation 1, of the 30 independent variables inputted in the backward regression model, 12 have negative parameters of which two have statistical significance explaining the variance of job satisfaction of operating conditions. From the other 18 variables that have positive parameters, three have statistical significance explaining the variance of job satisfaction of operating conditions. For the dimension of the challenge in the aspect of intrinsic motivation, two questions show significance to job satisfaction of operating conditions. Q2 has a positive parameter (.318) and t-ratio (2.195) showing significance at the 5% level. Q8 also has a positive parameter (.273) and t-ratio (1.874) showing significance at the 10% level. For the dimension of the enjoyment in the aspect of intrinsic motivation, Q6 has a positive parameter (.239) and t-ratio (1.829) showing significance at the 10% level, and Q18 has a negative parameter (-.265) and t-ratio (-1.685) showing significance at the 10% level. For the dimension of the outward in the aspect of extrinsic motivation, no questions show significance to job satisfaction of operating conditions. As to the dimension of compensation in the extrinsic motivation, there is one question showing significance to job satisfaction of operating conditions. Q14 has a negative parameter (-.188) and t-ratio (-1.721), showing significance at the 10% level. The type of nonprofits, gender, position, age, marital status, the highest degree earned, and tenure show no significance to job satisfaction of operating conditions. These results change from equation to equation.

In Equation 27, four variables show statistical significance to job satisfaction of operating conditions. All of these four variables have positive parameters.

Result for Null Hypothesis 2-4:

For the dimension of the challenge in the aspect of intrinsic motivation, two questions show significance to job satisfaction of operating conditions. Q2 has a

positive parameter (.404) and t-ratio (3.934), indicating that it is significant at the 1%

level. The result means that a rise in the agreement that I enjoy trying to solve complex problems would contribute to a rise in job satisfaction of operating conditions. Q8, a reverse question, has positive parameter (.270) and t-ratio (2.787), indicating that it is significant at the 1% level. It implies that a rise in the disagreement that I enjoy relatively simple, straightforward tasks would lead to a rise in job satisfaction of operating conditions. As a result the null hypothesis 2-4 is rejected and we accept the alternative that there is significant relationship between the challenge in the aspect of intrinsic motivation and job satisfaction of operating conditions for Q2 and Q8. The null hypothesis is accepted for the other questions belonging to the challenge in the aspect of intrinsic motivation; they show that there is no statistically significant relationship between the challenge in the aspect of intrinsic motivation and job satisfaction of operating conditions.

Result for Null Hypothesis 3-4:

For the dimension of the enjoyment in the aspect of intrinsic motivation, two questions show significance to job satisfaction of operating conditions. Q6 has a positive parameter (.244) and a t-ratio (2.615) showing significance at the 5% level.

The result means that a rise in the agreement that I prefer to figure things out for myself would lead to a rise in job satisfaction of operating conditions. Q11 also has a positive parameter (.177) and a t-ratio (1.816) showing significance at the 10% level.

It implies that a rise in the agreement that what matters most to me is enjoying what I do would contribute to a rise in job satisfaction of operating conditions. Therefore, we rejected the null hypothesis 3-4 for the Q6 and Q 11 and accept the alternative that there is statistically significant relationship between the enjoyment in the aspect of intrinsic motivation and job satisfaction of operating conditions. The null hypothesis

is accepted for the other questions belonging to the enjoyment in the aspect of intrinsic motivation.

Result for Null Hypothesis 4-4:

For the dimension of the outward in the aspect of extrinsic motivation, no questions show significance to job satisfaction of operating conditions. Therefore the null hypothesis is accepted that there is no statistically significant relationship between outward in the extrinsic motivation and job satisfaction of operating conditions.

Result for Null Hypothesis 5-4:

For the dimension of compensation in the aspect of extrinsic motivation, no questions show significance to job satisfaction of operating conditions. The null hypothesis is accepted that there is no statistically significant relationship between compensation in the aspect of extrinsic motivation and job satisfaction of operating conditions.

Result for Null Hypothesis 6-4:

The type of nonprofits is not statistically significant. As a result the null hypothesis 6-4 is accepted stating that type of nonprofits has no statistical significance to job satisfaction of operating conditions.

Result for Null Hypothesis 7-4:

The demographic variable, gender, is not statistically significant. As a result the null hypothesis 7-4 is accepted stating that gender has no statistical significance to job satisfaction of operating conditions.

Result for Null Hypothesis 8-4:

Employees’ position shows no significance, either. This suggests that the null hypothesis 8-4 is accepted stating that position has no statistical significance to job satisfaction of operating conditions.

Result for Null Hypothesis 9-4:

As to the age, using employees with the age of 20 to 29 years old as a reference group, it is not significant. Therefore the null hypothesis 9-4 is accepted stating that age has no statistical significance to job satisfaction of operating conditions.

Result for Null Hypothesis 10-4:

For the marital status, using the married employees as a reference group, it shows no significance. As a result, the null hypothesis 10-4 is accepted that there is no statistical difference between marital status and job satisfaction of operating conditions.

Result for Null Hypothesis 11-4:

For the highest degree earned, using employees with the degree of bachelor as the reference group, it shows no significance. As a result, the null hypothesis 11-4 is accepted that there is no statistical difference between the highest degree earned and job satisfaction of operating conditions.

Result for Null Hypothesis 12-4:

For the tenure, using employees with tenure of less than one to five years as the reference group, it shows no significance. As a result, the null hypothesis 12-4 is

accepted that there is no significant difference between tenure and job satisfaction of operating conditions.

Table 4.6 is Multiple Regression for independent variables as predictors for job satisfaction of coworkers. The backward elimination process is repeated 26 times, in 26 equations, until all remaining independent variables reach at least the 10% level of significance. In the table, the R² of Equation 1 is 0.973 which accounts for 97.3%

of the variance of job satisfaction of coworkers while in Equation 26 the R² is 0.969 which explains for 96.9% of the variance of job satisfaction of coworkers.
