“…Different studies have demonstrated next to zero relationship in the educational level and job satisfaction. Then again, the discoveries of different studies have been that no huge relationship exists between job satisfaction and educational qualification, which bolster the present studies, for instance, [12] and [49] studies bolster this study. Taking everything into account, educational institution, for example, colleges and schools has teaching staffs that are fulfilled by their occupation.…”

“…Although few past studies show age and satisfaction from various job aspects not being significantly related (Scott, Swortzel and Taylor 2005), there are few studies which show that older workers are more likely to be satisfied than younger workers (DeVaney and Chen 2003). A study also shows that workers who are older have more commitment to their organizations than the younger workers (Dodd-McCue and Wright 1996).…”

Business process outsourcing (BPO) industry in India is progressing with an unparalleled velocity. Despite the momentous growth and brilliant future, the BPO industry has experienced high attrition rates since inception. There are many factors that lead to attrition in BPOs and much research has taken place time and again. In this study, we have made a comprehensive attempt to explore the dimensions of attrition by identifying the factors that lead to it, assessing the contribution of the factors toward attrition, and comparing the dimensions across the various demographic variables. Data have been collected from 500 BPO employees and analyzed using Statistical Package for the Social Science 17.0. Factor analysis, correlation, regression, t-test, and Duncan's mean test have been done to empirically interpret the result. The paper not only identifies the significant dimensions of attrition but also provides scope for further studies in the field of employee retention in the BPO industry.

“…In one study, Bender and Heywood [95] found that university professors who receive high income-in comparison with other jobs-have low job satisfaction because they think that PhD holders who work in industry earn more than them. In a study of extension agents, Scott, Swortzel and Taylor [96] have found that the effects of age, gender, and marital status on job satisfaction were non-significant. In the similar vein, Cano and Miller [97] in a sample of agricultural teachers found that selected demographic variables of age, years in current position, years of service, and degree status were not related with on job satisfaction.…”

The notion of the fairness or justice has become an increasingly important construct in behaviour and management over the last two decades because of its serious personal and organizational consequences. Despite considerable research on job satisfaction and organizational commitment of employees, various types and forms of employees' justice perceptions have not been adequately examined. Studies of organizational justice in the area of health-care professionals are especially limited in the Indian setting. Because of higher expectations and demands on Indian hospitals, the issues of organizational justice and its associated work-related outcomes are quite relevant to employees working in them. With this background, the purpose of present study is to examine and compare the influence of different dimensions of organizational justice (of distributive, procedural, interpersonal (or relational), and informational justice) on work-related outcomes of job satisfaction and organizational commitment with special reference of healthcare professionals. Participants of the present study consisted of 100 health-care professional working in a government hospitals located in Varanasi (U.P., India). They were classified into three ranks: Doctors (N = 36), Nurses (N = 44), and Technicians and Hospital Administrative Staff (N = 20) and were mainly recruited from four major clinical departments-cardiology, gastroenterology, obstetrics & gynecology, and ENT. The statistical analyses of data included the descriptive statistics, coefficient of correlation and hierarchical regression analysis. The results of regression analysis revealed that among the four dimensions of justice, only procedural justice and relational justice significantly positively predicted job satisfaction of employees. Distributive and informational justice did not predict job satisfaction. Findings further indicated that informational justice was the only dimension that had significantly and positively predicted organizational commitment. Despite the significant zero-order correlations, distributive, procedural, interpersonal or relational justice did not predict organizational commitment. Implications of the study and avenues for future research were discussed. U. R. Srivastava 667
