The Relationship

Purpose Focusing on the corporations in China and aiming to figure out the significant connection between organizational justice perception and job satisfaction from Chinese setting, this study aimed to examine the effects of organizational justice upon job satisfaction of the full-time and part-time employees in the state owned enterprise (SOEs) and primate Chinese companies. Design/methodology/approach The study adopted the questionnaire to investigate more than 300 employees, and the empirical data of this paper is based on statistical analysis, such as confirmatory factor analysis, correlational and regression analysis. Findings The paper arrives at the conclusion that in SOEs, the employees’ perception about procedural justice was higher than distributive justice. While in private enterprises, the procedural justice and interactive justice were tested to have similar coefficients. The relationship between organizational justice and job satisfaction differed between full-time employees and part-time employees. Practical implications This study opens a new window for understanding how organizational justice influences employees’ job satisfaction in Chinese context, taking a further step to explore the different impacts of organizational justice on job satisfaction among different types of employees. Originality/value This paper collected data from both SOE and private companies in China, increasing the external validity of the findings. Meanwhile, the authors observed consistent findings with the studies in Western Society, which increase the generalization of our findings as well. The findings highlight the value of integrating literatures on organizational justice and job satisfaction.

ملخص: هدفت الدراسة إلى التحقق من “مستوى الرضا الوظيفي لدى الأكاديميين بالجامعات الفلسطينية في قطاع غزة من خلال دراسة مقارنة بين العاملين في كلية العلوم الإدارية والاقتصادية في جامعة القدس المفتوحة وكلية العلوم الإدارية والمالية -جامعة غزة”، وقد أجريت الدراسة على عينة قوامها (47) على أساس المسح الشامل للعينة من خلال تصميم استبانه خاصة بالدراسة من (18 فقره)، وقد بلغ عدد الأكاديميين المتفرغين وغير المتفرغين في كلية العلوم الإدارية والمالية-جامعة غزة (33)، و(14) أكاديمي متفرغ في كلية العلوم الإدارية والاقتصادية في جامعة القدس المفتوحة، وتم إجراء التحليل الإحصائي على الاستبانات التي تم استرجاعها والصالحة للتحليل (41) استبانه، (12 من القدس المفتوحة بنسبة 29.26% و 29 من جامعة غزة بنسبة 70.74%)، وقد توصلت الدراسة للعديد من النتائج والتوصيات أهمها: – عدم رضا الأكاديميين عن المردود المالي ومناسبته للأعباء الأكاديمية الملقاة على عاتقهم، إلا أن المقارنة بين الجامعتين أظهرت أن الرضا عند الأكاديميين في جامعة القدس المفتوحة أعلى في هذا الجانب نظراً لعمر وعدد الطلاب الملحقين بها، كما أظهرت الدراسة الحالية أن الرضا الوظيفي يتناسب طردياً مع الارتقاء بالرتبة العلمية. – وقد أوصت الدراسة بوجوب تحفيز الأكاديميين في كليات العلوم الإدارية والمالية على البحث العلمي وزيادة الإنتاجية العلمية التي تؤهلهم للترقية، وذلك لارتباطها المباشر بالرضا الوظيفي. Abstract The study aimed at verifying the level of Job Satisfaction Among the Academics in the Palestinian universities in Gaza Strip through conducting a comparative study among the employees in the College of Administrative Sciences and Economics at Al Quds Open University and the Faculty of Administrative and Financial Sciences at University of Gaza.

Based on a survey of 259 full-time employees in the public sector who were also part-time students for the Master of Public Administration program at a prestigious university in eastern China, it was found that person-organization (P-O) fit is a good predictor of job satisfaction and turnover intention in a Chinese context. In contrast to previous findings, the results of competition model analysis indicate that job satisfaction does work as a full mediator between P-O fit and turnover intention. In fact, P-O fit affects turnover intention through job satisfaction as a mediator.

The Wisconsin Maternity Leave and Health Study addresses an important policy issue, parental leave, by investigating the work status, maternity leave, and mental health of 570 women. In the longitudinal design, the women, all of whom were living with a husband or partner, were interviewed during the fifth month of pregnancy, 1 month postpartum, and 4 months postpartum. At 4 months postpartum, full-time workers, part-time workers, and homemakers did not differ in depression or anger, but full-time workers showed elevated anxiety compared with the other two groups. In multiple regression analyses, length of leave interacted significantly with marital concerns when predicting depression; women who took a short leave (6 weeks or less) and were high on marital concerns had the highest depression scores. Short maternity leave can be conceptualized as a risk factor that, when combined with other risk factors such as marital concerns, places women at greater risk for depression.

Positive Effect

This study presents findings on the differential effects that leader communicationhas on worker performance and job satisfaction for part-time and full-timeworkers. For both part- and full-time employees, structural equation model resultsindicate that leader communication, as measured through motivating language(ML) use, has the same significant and positive effect on job satisfaction. However,in the case of performance, leader ML use only has a significant relationshipwith the output of full-time workers. These results indicate a boundary conditionto the effectiveness of leader communication, and suggest practical implicationsfor management interventions with today's workforce.
