Predictive model of organizational justice, job satisfaction, and commitment: The context of the state media sector in the Ethiopian federation

Abstract

The purpose of the present study was to examine the relationship among interactive justice, overall job satisfaction, and organizational commitment in the Ethiopian federal state media sector. Data were gathered from samples of journalists working for Ethiopian Television, Addis Ababa Media Network, Ethiopian Press Agency and Ethiopian News Agency using self-administered scales. Findings of multiple regression analyses indicated that job satisfaction and interactive justice together explained more than a third of the variance in organizational commitment. Partial least squares methods further showed paths: (a) between interactive justice and commitment, (b) interactive justice and job satisfaction, (c) job satisfaction and commitment were significant. A mediation effect of job satisfaction on the relationship between interactive justice and commitment was also observed. Further analyses showed that, except for educational level, all other biographical and institutional antecedents played no significant role in the prediction of commitment. Implications are discussed in relation to the human resource management of media institutions.

Burnout in Journalism: Evidence from Regional Television Stations in Ethiopia

“…An overview of the literature indicates that burnout in broadcast journalism is neglected (with just two studies on the subject (Reinardy, 2012b(Reinardy, , 2013a and North American (with just two studies -one Norwegian and the other Korean). While the shortage of studies is international, there is special relevance to Africa where the state-owned media sector is the dominant employer but which remains unexplored especially in the context of the Ethiopian federation where journalism is highly contested and polarized (Woldearegay, 2021).…”
