Abstract: This study aims to analyse the impact of motivation on job satisfaction, turnover intentions, and employee behaviour across family firms in Lebanon. From a convenient sample of 336 participants out from 135 family businesses in Lebanon, our findings showed that motivation is positively correlated with job satisfaction, turnover intentions, and employee behaviour in Lebanese family business firms. When subordinates are motivated, they tend to work harder, show commitment, achieve brilliant results, and act ethically toward their leader and organisation. This study aims to highlight the lack of motivation in the workplace due to several factors. Our findings may well encourage Lebanese companies and government regulators to implement motivational techniques and practices to enhance human capital and family business firms' performance, which are pillars of every regional economy.

Keywords: family business; motivation; job satisfaction; turnover intentions.
