“…The priority of interactional justice over other forms of justice in predicting empowerment is JOURNAL OF PACIFIC RIM PSYCHOLOGY striking (Figure 2), supporting prior observations that interpersonal harmony may be more important than distributive justice in collectivistic societies (Beugr, 2002;Crosby, 1984) such as the Philippines. Consistent with other research (Carr, et al, 1998;MacLachlan, et al, 2010;McAuliffe, et al, 2009), higher levels of distributive justice were related positively to all aspects of empowerment amongst Filipino aid employees Figure 2). This adds to the evidence linking justice with satisfaction, effectiveness and productivity (McAuliffe, et al, 2009;McWha, 2010).…”

This study explored which of social dominance, social identity and perceptions of organisational justice were most predictive of self-reported empowerment among aid workers in the Philippines (N = 98). Responses to an online survey available in English and Tagalog were obtained from employees of diverse locally operating aid organisations in the Philippines. The survey included composite measures of empowerment, perceived social dominance, social identity and organisational justice. All measures except perceived social dominance performed as theorised in the Philippine context of this study. The best predictor of empowerment was the aspect of organisational justice centering on the fairness of personal interactions (interactional justice; β = .331). An interaction effect between interactional justice and aspects of empowerment and social (Filipino) identity was also observed (β = .233), implying that a secure Filipino identity may act as a buffer to consequences of injustice, all other things being equal. The overall pattern of results suggests that justice plays a more significant role than either social dominance or identity in contributing to empowerment amongst Filipino aid employees. Strikingly, interactional justice may matter more than distributive justice.

“…1 I find Bies' (2005) approach informative; he believes in the two components of interactional justice, but also states that whether it is one component or two does not matter. In this study I have used a version of Niehoff and Moorman's (1993) three-dimensional justice measure similar to that adapted by McAuliffe et al (2009).…”

“…In the same way, Lusch, Boyts and Naylor found a positive role of professionalism on job satisfaction [6]. McAuliffe, Manafa, Bowie and White in their work, found organizational justice to be the main contributor to workers' job contentment [7]. This research aims at understanding synergic effect of antecedents on job satisfaction as stretched by previously related studies [8].…”

This research seeks to investigate the influence of different public sector organizational antecedents on government employees' job satisfaction. Extensive reviews of literature revealed perceived procedural justice, distributive justice, esprit de corps and job training as the most referred antecedents of employees' job satisfaction. To empirically test the study hypotheses, data were collected from 332 personnel working in National Savings (Public sector investment bank in Pakistan). Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) was used to analyze the data using SPSS Statistics 23 and AMOS 21. The results of this research generally support the hypothesis proposing the relationships between organizational antecedents (procedural and organizational justice and esprit de corps) and job satisfaction, except the association between employee's training and job satisfaction. The study helps in formulating policies regarding workforce and labor management by providing in-depth insight to the concerned authorities of various government organizations. This research, in addition to limitations, provides some tangible future research directions for future researchers in the light of its findings.

“…Participation in training is more a choice of the head of service. Choosing staff for further training should be done on a clear basis, otherwise this can lead to frustration [11] and job dissatisfaction [37] which will have a negative impact on the quality of care.…”

Introduction: In Africa, poor working conditions affect the motivation of health care providers. The objective is to study midwives' professional satisfaction on the technical quality of emergency obstetric care in Senegal. Material and Methods: This was a prospective study of 16 hospitals in Senegal. The job satisfaction of midwives was measured during a personal interview. The instrument used was validated in Senegal and Mali. Other data collected relate to professional and institutional characteristics. A treatment observation grid was used to measure the quality of obstetric care in labour wards. Mixed-model linear regression was used to estimate the effect of satisfaction on the quality of obstetric care. Results: A total of 65 midwives were interviewed and 325 patients observed. The average quality score was 8.7 ± 1.7. The satisfaction scores ranged from 42.2 ± 17.4 (salary) to 76.7 ± 12.1 (morale satisfaction). A positive and significant correlation was found between quality of care and management (cc = 0.56), remuneration (cc = 0.40), task (cc = 0.32), workload (cc = 0.24) and training (cc = 0.29). The linear mixed model shows that salary (β = 0.40), continuing education (β = 0.17) and management style (β = 0.42) improved the quality of care. Association between moral satisfaction and quality care was negative (β = −0.53). Conclusion: The satisfaction of health professionals is a major determinant of the quality of obstetric care. Its inclusion in the fight against mortality has become imperative in developing.
