Abstract: This study proposes an integrated model of the relationships among supervisory leadership style, employee achievement motivation, job characteristic perception, and work motivation of information technology (IT) professionals in China. LISREL is applied to test and analyse the proposed model. The results demonstrate that leadership style and employee personal achievement motivation positively influence job characteristic perception for IT professionals. However, leadership style only weakly influences job characteristic perception. Additionally, job characteristic perception positively influence work motivation. Thus, employee personalities should be considered, specifically their achievement motivation before inspiring their positive perception on job characteristics when attempting to recruit IT professionals or improve the quality of existing IT staff.
