Abstract

The research aims to explore the effect of job autonomy on work passion in a sample of employees of the Oil Drilling and Exploration Company affiliated with the Iraqi Ministry of Oil. So, a sample of 235 employees was selected, the questionnaire was distributed to them, and the results of their answers were analyzed by using SPSS. One main hypothesis was formulated to illustrate the influence of job autonomy on work passion, and several of statistical methods were used, such as the arithmetic mean, standard deviation, and linear regression. The most prominent results that were reached that there is an effect of job autonomy on work passion, but the effect is not big. The most important recommendations from the research are that there must be attention in the way the organization is managed towards granting independence to employees and making them more confident in themselves, as this has an effect on generating feelings of attachment to their jobs
