“…Maslow's hierarchy of needs details basic human needs where physical or extrinsic needs are the foundation or required to be achieved prior and psychological needs are at the top of the pyramid building upon physical needs (Ghatak & Singh, 2019;Maslow, 1943). As Maslow detailed, every person has basic physiological needs.…”

It is known employee job satisfaction is related to employee motivation, performance, retention, and other factors which are beneficial to the employee and the employer. In recent decades, some have used the work of Self-Determination Theory to claim pay is irrelevant and promote the idea it is an employee's commitment, attitude, and the programs the employer offers the employee that are important to employee satisfaction, motivation, performance, morale, and retention. However, the work of Self-Determination Theory has neither stated nor confirmed this concept. In a study considering if and to what extent a relationship exists between employee rate of monetary compensation and employee job satisfaction, it was found a statistically significant positive relationship exists between employee rate of monetary compensation and employee overall, extrinsic, and intrinsic job satisfaction. The sample consisted of N = 129 employees of Fortune 500 companies within the United States of America. Utilizing Spearman's rank-order correlation employee overall job satisfaction resulted in ρ = .290, employee extrinsic job satisfaction resulted in ρ = .227, and employee intrinsic job satisfaction resulted in ρ = .325 all demonstrating a positive relationship with employee rate of monetary compensation. This article discusses the current literature, results, and implications.

“…Maslow's hierarchy of needs is probably the most wellknown example of a theoretical representation of a social hierarchy. This theory is a mainstay in many fields of psychology education, research and practice, and the content of related studies have provided excellent guidelines on the application of hierarchy theory in social sciences (Ghatak & Singh, 2019). Maslow (1943) described the five categories in his original hierarchy of human needs as follows:…”

Background: Employment relations trust (ERT) is related to compliance, fairness, good faith and benevolence in such relations. Benevolence is not a legal obligation in employment relations and will typically be displayed voluntarily. Gaps in the literature suggested a need for a valid and reliable theory of employment relations benevolence and its relationship with trust in such relations.Aim: This study was undertaken to investigate the relationship between benevolence and the development of trust in employment relations.Setting: The study was undertaken in the Gauteng province of the Republic of South Africa.Methods: An exploratory quantitative research method was implemented to test two hypotheses emanating from a literature review. A questionnaire survey facilitated the collection of data from 83 purposefully sampled voluntary respondents, who were ordinary employees, managers and academics. Statistical analysis was done to test the validity of two hypotheses.Results: Employment relations trust can be expected to develop through four distinct, overlapping and relatively predictable sequential stages, namely compliance, fairness, good faith and benevolence. Benevolence can be assumed to be the last stage in this development process.Conclusion: Benevolence can be regarded as the erratic pinnacle of a four levelled theoretical hierarchy of ERT. Benevolence can occur before, during or after displays of compliance, fairness or good faith in employment relations.Contribution: This theory of ERT provides valid and reliable foundations for dealing with and researching a variety of aspects related to benevolence and trust in employment relations.

“…With users constantly navigating a vast ocean of information, social media inevitably becomes a go-to source for an attention-deficit world. Moreover, several studies have indicated that social media has been able to build a community which helps people to connect at an emotional level (Ghatak & Singh, 2019). The newfound medium of social connectedness (Waheed et al, 2017) has enabled users to collaborate and create through easy information exchanges.…”

Social Media has invaded all walks of life including the way we consume content. The literature is rich with research on various aspects of social media and its impact on user behavior, organisations, and the society. This systematic literature review has been done to highlight the key themes and methodologies in extant literature for social media and its impact on user behavior. With 61 journal articles as the base of this review, 4 main research themes emerged, namely consumer motivation, effects of the platform format, content type, and the inverse impact of user behavior on the platforms. On exploration of the methodologies used in the relevant literature, a variety of approaches i.e. qualitative, quantitative, mixed, and non-empirical studies have been used to analyze social media usage and its impact on user behavior. Based on the methodological and thematic review, recommendations are provided for future research.
