“…In our studies, satisfaction was approached as a concept that reflected employees' global positive feeling about the job (as an interrelated set of positive attitudes about various aspects or facets of the job). However, many scholars argue that employee satisfaction can be seen as a multi-dimensional construct, comprising many facets like pay satisfaction, co-worker satisfaction, supervisor satisfaction, and satisfaction with the job itself (e.g., JonesJohnson and Johnson 2000;Vitell and Davis 1990). Such an approach highlights that employees can be more or less satisfied with all kinds of specific work-related aspects.…”

Catering to the Needs of an Aging Workforce: The Role of Employee Age in the Relationship Between Corporate Social Responsibility and Employee Satisfaction

Contemporary organizations often reciprocate to society for using resources and for affecting stakeholders by engaging in corporate social responsibility (CSR). It has been shown that CSR has a positive impact on employee attitudes. However, not all employees may react equally strongly to CSR practices. Based on socio-emotional selectivity theory (Carstensen in Science 312:1913-1915, 2006, we contend that the effect of CSR on employee satisfaction will be more pronounced for older than for younger employees, because CSR practices address those emotional needs and goals that are prioritized when people's future time perspective decreases. In one multi-source field study (N = 143) and one experimental study (N = 500), we demonstrate that CSR indeed has a stronger positive effect on employee satisfaction for older relative to younger employees. Accordingly, engaging in CSR can be an attractive tool for organizations that aim to keep their aging workforce satisfied with their job.

“…Further, as work ethic has been positively linked to job satisfaction (Yousef, 2001;Koh & Boo, 2001;Viswesvaran & Deshpande, 1996;Vitell & Davis, 1990) and organizational commitment (Nik Mu'tasim et al,…”

“…Since work ethic is made reference to the positive attitude towards work (Cherrington, 1980) therefore, many of the research on work ethic have been focus on to job satisfaction (Yousef, 2001;Koh & Boo, 2001;Viswesvaran & Deshpande, 1996;Vitell & Davis, 1990). Nevertheless, the relationship between work value and organisational commitment has also received considerable attention (e.g., Jones, 1997;Elizur, Borg, Hunt, & Magyaribeck, 1991;Yousef, 2001).…”

This descriptive study uses self-administered questionnaire to gauge the respondents' level of Islamic work value and organizational commitment. Findings of the study demonstrated that there were no significant differences in the level of Islamic work ethic between males and females, and between the management group and the support group. The findings also showed a moderate but significant relationship between Islamic work value and dimensions within organizational commitment.

“…Previous research has revealed evidence of a relationship between the perceptions of ethical climate type and individual level work outcomes, such as job satisfaction (Vitell & Davis, 1990;Martin & Cullen 2006;Armstrong, Kusuma & Sweeney 1999;Joseph & Deshpande 1997) and organisational commitment (Cullen, Parbooteeah & Victor 2003).…”
