Using a multidimensional measure of pay satisfaction (the Pay Satisfaction Questionnaire; PSQ), this study assessed the discriminant validity between scores on a measure of distributive justice and the PSQ using confirmatory factor analysis. Data collected from a diverse sample of employees indicated that the items from both the pay satisfaction scale and the distributive justice scale loaded on the hypothesized dimensions. Various goodness-of-fit measures confirmed the discriminant validity of the two constructs.

This study examined the influence of the sales managers supervisory style on the role clarity and job satisfaction of a group of full-time real estate salespeople. The results show that the salespersons self-esteem, need for role clarity, experience, and self-perceived performance moderate the relationship between supervisory behavior and salespeoples job attitudes. Real estate salespeople have more positive job attitudes when the sales manager is supportive of their behavior rather than when the sales manager tries to structure their jobs.
