K-workers embodying high value tacit knowledge are the linchpin of the k-economy. Their satisfaction with the job
is the key to keeping them produce
for the organisation. Their perception of how justly they are treated i.e. organisational justice is ever more important in managing the k-workers and in keeping them satisfied.
Additionally,the evolving k-workforce will become increasingly feminised. How will this effect the justice and job satisfaction equation? This study explored these two questions using a mailed survey which netted a
sample of 401 k-workers with MSC statused
companies.The study found that procedural justice is a key factor in job satisfaction of
the k-workers. However, gender similarity i.e. female-female or male-male supervisor-superviser pairs moderates the relationship between justice variables and job satisfaction (JS).The moderation effect of gender similarity is, however, complex.Although the gender factor accounts for only a small amount of variance in JS, it adds to the manager’s toolkit in dealing with k-workers including the women k-workers. |
