This research is aimed to study the effect of Job Satisfaction and Organizational Citizenship on the Job performance of the External Auditor. Data was collected through questionnaires distributed to a random sample of workers in the Capital Companies, and Audit Offices in Jeddah and Riyadh, two major cities of Saudi Arabia. The study utilized descriptive analysis, simple correlation and Linear regression, as the statistical methodology to illustrate the relationships among variables. Results obtained support the interrelation among variables. Although there is controversy in the quantity of the relationship among the variables IE., job satisfaction, Organizational Citizenship and job performance, existing research has provided evidence that a positive relationship exists between these variables: job satisfaction, Organizational Citizenship and job performance. The goal of this study is to strengthen and expand the previous findings by evaluating the interrelationship among all the three variables: job motivation, job satisfaction, and job performance and the combined effects among them in audit office. And thus increase the Job Performance of the External Auditor.
Keywords: Job Satisfaction, Organizational Citizenship, Job
