Abstract
The relationship between organizational performance and job satisfaction is still unclear, especially in nonprofit organizations lacking research on this topic. The purpose of this study is to empirically investigate whether organizational performance in nonprofit organizations, as evidenced by the achievement of organizational goals, influences job satisfaction of their employees. This paper also intends to encourage researchers to investigate this phenomenon further. The empirical research was conducted in Croatian nonprofit organizations with 125 participants who completed the questionnaire. The research results show that the achievement of the observed goals (fundraising, user satisfaction, and costefficiency) impacts job satisfaction. Therefore, it can be concluded that the organizational performance of nonprofit organizations influences job satisfaction. These results are supported by theoretical postulates and some other research findings. However, the study findings should be considered in the context of research limitations, while generalizations should be supported by additional research.
