This study aims to analyze gender differences in wages, social support, and job satisfaction in the public sector. From the 5th Korean Working Conditions Survey data, 2046 subjects were selected as public sector workers. This study analyzed gender differences in the relationships by stepwise regression analysis and mediation model. The results showed that wages were directly affected by education level, followed by work experience and working hours. Also, there were significant gender difference relationships, and males’ wages increased faster than females as education level increased. The social support of females is higher than that of males regardless of wages or educational level, and it is more influenced by the level of education than that of wages. However, there was no gender difference in the regression equation of social support and wage on job satisfaction. Bridging gender gaps in the workplace is a crucial component of inclusive and sustainable growth. This study substantially contributes to the existing knowledge of gender differences, such as regression analysis and new findings.

“…Job satisfaction of female workers is associated with organizational factors, including organizational commitment and citizenship behavior; however, few studies have focused on individual factors such as health status and psychological well-being (Berger, 2013;Choi & Ju, 2021; S. Y. Lee & Lee, 2017). There is more emphasis on organizational factors regarding female workers' job satisfaction (Choi & Ju, 2021).…”

The purpose of this study was to determine the job satisfaction among female workers in Korea and the association between health status and job satisfaction. The Korean Longitudinal Survey of Women and Families was used for this nationwide cross-sectional study. Data from 1570 female workers were analyzed to determine job satisfaction and examine the association between health status and job satisfaction, controlling for other variables such as personal characteristics, work attributes, job opportunities, and work conditions. Analyses included descriptive statistics, independent t-tests, ANOVA, Pearson's correlation, and multivariate regression. Subjective health status was positively related, while diagnosed disease and depressive symptoms were negatively associated with job satisfaction. Monthly salary, work hours, fringe benefits, and geographical region were also significantly related to female workers' job satisfaction, and commute distance was related to job satisfaction with a small effect size. This study thus found that subjective health status, diagnosed disease, and depressive symptoms were related to female workers' job satisfaction. Health promotion and supporting mental health among female workers may be important managerial strategies for supporting increased job satisfaction in female workers.female workers, health status, job satisfaction, South Korea, mental health Key points• Health status such as subjective health status, diagnosed disease, and depressive symptom of female workers were related to job satisfaction.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to analyze the relationship of the organization and whether employees in the companies operating in the textile sector receive leadership support when they experience depression. Design/methodology/approach Data were obtained from personnel working in textile companies in organized industrial zones located within five provinces: Istanbul, Ankara, Bursa, Izmir and Antalya (defined as industrial cities of Turkey). The reason for choosing these companies was related to the question of whether the mental state of the personnel may have had an impact on the success of the company, especially as the textile industry works with more manpower and knowledge due to the nature of the job. The moderation relationship of leadership support to the relationship of this situation on organizational culture and organizational commitment was analyzed using the SmartPLS program. Findings As a result of the analyzes, it was determined that the depression of the employees weakens the organizational commitment, thereby leading to a negative relationship within the organizational culture. But, with leadership support, the organizational commitment increases and the organizational culture is positively affected. Research limitations/implications As the research was conducted in companies in the textile sector in Istanbul, this limitation should be taken into account in future research. In addition, as data is collected from white-collar employees in the administrative staff position (the sample group), this situation should also be taken into account. Considering the questions asked in the questionnaire, it is recommended that future research be conducted on blue-collar workers. Practical implications It can be concluded that the leadership role is an important factor for organizations to prevent employees from being depressed and employees should receive positive support to ensure organizational commitment. At the same time, it can be concluded that the organizational culture is positively affected if the depression of the employees has decreased. Originality/value The research is an original study in terms of investigating the relationship of depression status to the leadership support of employees working in textile companies in an environment where competition is consistently intense.
