BackgroundHealthcare organisations have mainly emphasised on significant role of human resources in improving organisational performance and obtaining competitive advantage. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between perception of justice among hospital employees and outcome variables such as organisational commitment, job satisfaction and readiness to accept job responsibilities. It further examined the impact of job commitment on the relationship between perception of power distance, job satisfaction and readiness to accept responsibilities.MethodsA cross-sectional, descriptive design study was conducted among hospital employees affiliated by Qazvin University of Medical Sciences, Qazvin, Iran. A standard questionnaire taken from Francesco and Chen study was applied to gather data. Descriptive statistics, correlation coefficient, linear regression and moderated multiple regression were used to analyse study data using SPSS V.20.ResultsStudy findings showed that the level of power distance perceived by employees had a significant relationship with job satisfaction, employee participation, organisational commitment and readiness to accept job responsibilities (P<0.05). Moderated multiple regression results supported the hypothesis that job commitment had a significant moderating effect on the relationship between perception of justice, job satisfaction and readiness to work (β1=0.7, β2=0.4, P<0.05).ConclusionApplying strengthening strategies to improve employee commitment to their work and job responsibilities help organisations maintain more satisfied workforce who have positive perception towards justice in the workplace.

The present study has sought to contribute to the growing knowledge base pertaining to the increasing trend in the high employee turnover rate in Malaysia’s manufacturing industry and challenges faced by organisations in retaining talented workforce arising from the job satisfaction issue. In such a perspective, this study examines the association of organisational culture and organisational commitment with job satisfaction. Insufficient research is available on these associations within the context of the Malaysian vegetable oil processing sector; thus, this study has aimed to add new knowledge to the existing literature. A quantitative research approach, namely a cross-sectional survey, was utilised to gather data from the sample population who were employed in vegetable oil processing factories in Pasir Gudang, Johor. The participants were chosen via the simple random sampling approach. Pearson correlation and linear regression analysis methods were utilised to analyse the associations among the variables. The highest correlation was revealed between adhocracy culture and normative commitment. Regression analysis findings demonstrated a positive significant association between all dimension’s variables of organisational culture and organisational commitment on job satisfaction. Overall, the study has provided comprehensive insights for the vegetable oil processing organisations to review the culture in their company that could enhance organisational members’ commitment and job satisfaction.

AbstractResearch into spirituality and its impact on the work environment has been bourgeoning. In an attempt to explore the role of Islamic spirituality in the workplace, this study examines the influence of Islamic spirituality on job satisfaction and organisational commitment through work ethics. Data are obtained by an online Likert-scaled questionnaire survey based on one thousand Muslim employees from various economic sectors in Indonesia and analysed through structural equation modelling (SEM). The findings demonstrate that Islamic spirituality positively influences job satisfaction and organisational commitment as two dimensions of work attitudes and that work ethics mediate that influence. There is also evidence that job satisfaction positively influences organisational commitment, but work ethics does not moderate that influence. The findings related to the role of work ethics, which mediates the effect of Islamic spirituality on job satisfaction and organisational commitment, can be considered the contribution of this study.

Orientation: The impact of toxic leadership on employees and organisations has only recently become the focus of certain research studies.Research purpose: The general objective of this research was to investigate the relationship between toxic leadership, job satisfaction, turnover intention and commitment. The aim further was to test whether organisation culture mediates the relationship between toxic leadership and certain job outcomes such as job satisfaction, turnover intention and commitment.Motivation for the study: Currently, no knowledge is available on the relationships between toxic leadership and job outcomes within the context of South African manufacturing organisations. Therefore, this study provides South African organisations and researchers with an insight into such a relationship and the mentioned mediation of organisational culture in the process.Research approach/design and method: A cross-sectional research design with a sample size of N = 600 manufacturing employees was used. Product–moment correlations, multiple regression and structural equation modelling were used.Main findings: The test results returned both direct and indirect effects for all the relationships, which indicated only partial mediation in all the tested relationships.Practical/managerial implications: The results provided organisations’ insight into the possible consequences of toxic leadership on employees and the organisations’ culture.Contribution/value-add: The improved understanding of toxic leadership and the relationship with certain job outcomes contributes to the body of knowledge on both the theory of toxic leadership and on employees’ experience of such leadership styles in the work environment.

Purpose: This paper presents results from an empirical study in the banking sector in Qatar on the impact of high-performance work practices (HPWPs) on employee’s innovative work behaviour (IWB). In particular, the study seeks to examine the impact of HPWP on employees work attitudes of job satisfaction and organisational commitment, and of the possible mediating link of employees’ attitudes (i.e., satisfaction and commitment) on HPWPs and IWB link. Methodology: Data were collected from employees about their perception of the use of HPWPs in their banks and about their level of satisfaction at work, their perceived commitment, and their innovative work behaviour. The sample included 150 employees working in different banks at Qatar. Findings: The findings suggest that HPWPs are positively related to job satisfaction, organisational commitment, and IWB. Also, the study provides support for the mediating effect of organisational commitment on the HPWPs and IWB link. Practical implications: When trying to inspire employees IWB through managerial practices (like HPWPs) in Qatari banks, management needs to pay attention to employees work related attitudes such as job satisfaction and organisational commitment. Limitations: The unique characteristics of the Qatari banks limits the generalizability of the study findings. Originality: This is the first study that explores the mediating role of job satisfaction and organisational commitment on HPWPs-IWB link after conducting a comprehensive PLS analysis. Moreover, the study provides evidence of this possible link in what is believed to be unique study setting.

The present examination explored the impact of work spirituality and procedural justice on work locus of control, worker work fulfillment and representative authoritative duty among workers from private establishments of high learning in South Africa. Due to limited researches that have concentrated on the impact of workplace spirituality and procedural justice on work locus of control, employee job satisfaction and employee organisational commitment in developing countries especially in Southern Africa. A review was done and information was accumulated by methods for surveys on a sample of 150 academics and support staff in a private university setting in Gauteng, South Africa. Structural equation modelling was employed to analyse data using the Smart Partial Least Squares (PLS) software. By means of a partial least squares structural equation modeling approach, this study validates that elements such as workplace spirituality, procedural justice and work locus of control are instrumental in stimulating the employee job satisfaction and employee job commitment. The present investigation offers suggestions for academicians in the field of resource management by upgrading their comprehension of the how workplace spirituality and procedural justice impacts work locus of control, employee job satisfaction and employee organisational commitment
