“…This study confirms a previous study conducted by Marinescu, et al, 2021 that competence does not affect job satisfaction. This implies that there are other factors other than competence that affect job satisfaction such as stability of employment, communication with management, communication between employees and other groups, the possibility of promotion, the possibility of development, the content of work, recognition of superiors, good relationship with superiors, independence in decision-making, company culture, safety at work, good relationships with co-workers, and atmosphere at work or as pay and benefits, work environment, top management leadership, and workload (Artz et al, 2022).…”

This quantitative study employed SmartPLS 3.3.2 version to analyze the data obtained from 120 respondents through observations and questionnaire.

Existing research has tended to overlook the diverse roles of union leadership in contributing to member attitudes. Drawing on the social information processing theory, this study examines how union leaders’ (shop stewards) service-oriented leadership relates to member job satisfaction. To clarify the mechanism underlying this relationship, this study focuses on union instrumentality as a mediator. The research also examines managers’ ethical leadership as a conditional factor in the relationship between union leaders’ service-oriented leadership and member job satisfaction through union instrumentality. To test our hypothesis, this study analyzed the results of a survey of 603 respondents from two branches of the Korean Metal Workers’ Union. The findings of this study indicate that union instrumentality is the link between service-oriented union leadership and member job satisfaction. Additionally, the strength of the mediated relationship between the aforementioned factors through union instrumentality is contingent on managerial ethical leadership. This study contributes to an integrated understanding of the way in which service-oriented union stewards and ethical managers influence member job satisfaction through their leadership.

“…Those who support the positive role of unions for employment suggest that unions can lower turnover, increase training investment, and enhance total worker productivity [51]. Moreover, the greater job satisfaction and stability brought about by union activities may contribute to a more stable and productive workforce [52]. Other positive effects on employment may also be attributed to unions' bargaining strength in obtaining better working conditions for workers [53].…”

The role of labor market institutions and policies has received great attention throughout the history of labor economics. Labor market institutions are responsible for a wide range of policies, regulations, and organizations that affect the labor market, though their impact on employment can vary depending on the specific institutions and the economic context across countries. This entry attempts to provide an overview of five main labor market institutions and policies, i.e., the minimum wage, employment protection, the power of unions, active labor market policies, and unemployment insurance/unemployment benefits. It also presents theoretical expectations of their effects on employment outcomes and collates relevant results from the related literature, focusing mainly on the most recent empirical evidence. Finally, this entry provides insights regarding labor market institutions and offers proposals for shaping the labor market landscape.
