Abstract: This study examines the mediating influence work motivation on the relationships between job involvement and perceived supervisor support and the work outcomes of job performance. This was a cross-sectional-descriptive study. Participants of this research were 226 employees of an organization who were selected via multistage random sampling and then completed the research instruments. Three questionnaires were chosen to gather data: Work Motivation (Robinson; 2004), Performance self- assessment (Patterson) and two subscale of Organizational Culture Survey (OCS; Glaser, Zamanou & Hacker; 1987) include Involvement and Supervision. Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) through AMOS-16 and SPSS-17 software packages were used for data analysis. Findings and SEM analysis supported model also fitting with data. Following goodness -of-fit indices were used to assess the model-fitting: A chi-square of 3.5 on 2 degrees of freedom, GFI= .97, CFI= 0.99, NFI= 0.99, RFI= 0.97, TLI= 0.99 and RMSEA= 0.05. As expected, work motivation measure was significantly and positively correlated to supervision (r = 0.30, P= 0.001) and involvement (r = 0.27, P= 0.001), and wok motivation correlated to job performance (r = 0.67, P= 0.001). The results revealed that work motivation fully mediated the relationship between job involvement and PSS wi th job performance.
