Moreover variation exists in terms of pay packages, working conditions, incentives, recognition and fringe bene ts for the employees (Lavy, 2007).…”

“…Notwithstanding the impact that environmental factors related to the work itself exert on employees' job satisfaction (Ellickson and Logsdon 2001;Carlan 2007;Abdulla et al 2011;Tlaiss 2013), the current study is aimed at investigating the relationship between personal demographic variables and job satisfaction in Lebanon. Exploring this relationship is important, given the scarcity of similar studies in Lebanon and the conflicting and inconclusive results that have been reported to that end in studies conducted in the Middle East.…”

While there has been extensive research investigating the antecedents of women's job satisfaction, the majority of it has focused on Western women in developed countries. This study explores the job satisfaction of women in a developing, Middle Eastern country context through an assessment of personal demographics and their relative contributions to objective and subjective aspects of job satisfaction among women managers. More specifically, we looked at the impact of age, education, tenure, marital status and religious affiliation on the objective and subjective job satisfaction levels of 346 women managers in the services industry in Lebanon. Results indicate that job satisfaction is related to age, religious affiliation and tenure, but not to marital status and education. The implications of this study are then discussed, along with limitations and suggestions for future research.

Abdulla et al (2011) andCarlan (2007) found that environmental factors (in our study they are listed among the organizational factors; "salary and incentive" was the most powerful determinant of employee satisfaction) are the key determinants of employee satisfaction compared to demographic ones and that both intrinsic and extrinsic factors can be a source of employee satisfaction. MacKain et al (2010) established that salary, perceived organizational support and relationships emerged as being important to overall satisfaction and that the (general) facet "management" (i.e.…”

PurposeThe paper has two purposes -first, to examine the dimensionality of employee satisfaction and, second, to identify the impact of the groups of factors on employee satisfaction. Design/methodology/approachThe measurement of satisfaction of all employees in the Slovenian Police based on the comprehensive on-line questionnaire. Factor analysis was used to formulate the facets of satisfaction. Multiple linear regression analysis was performed to identify the predictors of three facets of employee satisfaction. FindingsThree facets of employee satisfaction were determined and the influence of three types of factors (demographic, job-related and organizational-support-related factors) on them was investigated. The results show that worst assessed facet was (1) salary and security, whereas no significant differences were found between two other facets, namely (2) relationships and leadership and (3) tasks and working conditions. The three factors influenced employee satisfaction with different levels of intensity. Research limitations/implicationsThe current economic situation in the state, especially in the public sector and in the police service, definitely impacts the results of the survey. The survey was conducted just before the announcement of savings measures in the Slovenian public sector. Since it was conducted online, we assume that for some employees this probably meant that anonymity could not be assured. Practical implicationThe survey was performed in order to identify the opportunities for improvements in police management. The results indicate the importance of leadership, communication and participation in the work of police officers, especially during a period of limited financial resources. Originality/valueThe far strongest influence on employee satisfaction is that of the employees' feeling that the police will support and protect them in case they are exposed while performing their legitimate and professional work. Trust in one's immediate superior also has a strong influence. Both could be an important signal to the management of the police to focus on activities to increase cohesiveness within the police and constantly promote the feeling of belongingness to the police among all its members.
