Abstract

Job satisfaction is a critical factor influencing employee motivation and organizational outcomes, yet its role as a mediator between leadership, organizational support, and work motivation remains underexplored, particularly in developing economies. This study aims to examine how job satisfaction mediates the relationship between leadership styles, organizational support, and work motivation through a systematic literature review of empirical studies published between 2015 and 2024. The review analyzed 17 peer-reviewed articles selected from academic databases using predefined inclusion criteria, focusing on empirical studies involving job satisfaction as a mediator. Findings reveal that job satisfaction consistently serves as a psychological bridge, linking leadership styles, such as transformational and transactional, and organizational support to enhanced employee motivation, commitment, and performance, particularly in Southeast Asian contexts like Indonesia and Malaysia. The review highlights diverse industry settings, including hospitality and public services, emphasizing the broad applicability of the mediation model. This study concludes that job satisfaction is a pivotal mechanism for translating organizational strategies into positive employee outcomes, offering a framework for future research to explore causal pathways and cross-cultural variations in organizational behavior.

Abstract

In today’s competitive business environment, corporate debt policy significantly influences financial stability and growth, shaped by firm-specific factors like profitability, liquidity, and asset structure. This study aims to examine how these factors affect debt policy decisions through a systematic literature review. The review analyzes 42 peer-reviewed articles published between 2020 and 2025, sourced from databases such as Scopus, Web of Science, ScienceDirect, and Emerald Insight, using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses framework. Findings reveal that profitability generally reduces debt reliance, as firms favor internal financing, aligning with the Pecking Order Theory. Liquidity also tends to decrease borrowing, though it can enhance creditworthiness in capital-intensive sectors. Conversely, asset structure, particularly tangible assets, consistently correlates positively with debt, supporting the Trade-Off Theory by providing collateral. Contextual factors like industry, firm size, and economic conditions influence these relationships. The study concludes that while established theories explain debt policy, contextual nuances necessitate tailored financial strategies. This review contributes to corporate finance by offering a comprehensive, theory-driven synthesis, highlighting practical implications for managers and identifying future research avenues to address sector-specific and regional variations.
