Purpose Diversity management is gaining attention in the organizations. This study aims to theorize and test a model linking efforts to support diversity and organizational value of diversity with job satisfaction and organizational identification and to propose that these relationships are mediated by an organization’s diversity climate. Design/methodology/approach Employee survey was used to collect data from employees at an Australian manufacturing organization. Structural equation modelling in AMOS was performed for the proposed model, controlling for age and gender. Findings The mediating role of diversity climate in the relationship of organizational value of diversity and outcomes (job satisfaction and organizational identification) is significant. The authors discuss theoretical, research and practical contributions. Originality/value The present study extends the literature by testing a mediation model derived from the signalling and social exchange theories.

In the recent past, Saudi Arabia has experienced an influx of foreign workers. Most of the jobs that were traditionally occupied by the locals are now taken up by foreign workers. We explore the Guanxi and country policies that have dictated the job situation in this particular region. (Cooper, 2006) In this article we look into the both literature review and research methodologies used in the study. The exchange favors and the relationships created with business mindset are as well suggested. Additionally this article elaborates on the research type of research used in establishing the predetermined objectives. Data sampling methods and their significance are considered. It gives a reflection on the real Guanxi policies on the job market currently (Eisenberger, 2001). The article investigates the policies implemented to curb conflict development between locals and foreigners. The implications of the Guanxi policies are implemented. Given that the locals are now skilled to occupy the jobs but are still missing the opportunities.

The Relationship

PurposeThe present study examines the mediating role of job stress on the relationship between job satisfaction facets and turnover intention of the construction project professionals in Sri Lanka.Design/methodology/approachData were gathered from a cross-sectional survey of 274 project-level employees of 10 construction organizations in Sri Lanka. A path analytical model is developed to assess the research hypotheses.FindingsResults support the mediation model of job stress, in which satisfaction with supervision and job security directly contributed to a reduction in stress levels, which in turn lessened the turnover intention. Full mediation is observed from supervision, and partial mediation is observed from job security. Satisfaction with pay and co-workers directly predicted a decline in turnover intention. Contrary to the authors’ expectations, the authors could not find any significant effect from promotion to job stress and promotion to turnover intention. The results further illustrated that demographic variables, i.e. gender, age and organization tenure play a role in determining employees’ stress levels.Originality/valueIn identifying how job satisfaction facets, job stress and turnover intention are linked together, the present study added the mediating role of job stress to the previous empirical research on the relationship between job satisfaction facets and turnover intention.

Mediating Role

This study sought to assess the effect of job security on the commitment of teachers in the Cape Coast Metropolis of Ghana. The study further assessed the mediating role of career satisfaction in the relationship between job security and organizational commitment. Using an explanatory survey design, 228 senior high school teachers were systematically selected and surveyed accordingly. The estimated target population was 530 teachers. An internal consistency of .807 was recorded for the instrument. Data processing and analysis were done using SPSS and SMART PLS to assess the effect of job security on the four dimensions of organizational commitment (affective, continuance, normative, and value commitment). The measurement model met all the quality criteria. It was found that job security had a positive influence on all four dimensions of organizational commitment as well as career satisfaction. Similarly, career satisfaction had a positive influence on all four dimensions of organizational commitment. Furthermore, career satisfaction mediated the relationships among job security and all dimensions of organizational commitment except value commitment. Thus, the findings suggest that Ghana Education Service should institute policies and measures that enable teachers to feel more secure in their job, and increase their opportunities for career development in Ghana’s public senior high schools. Additionally, teachers should take advantage of human resource development policies initiated by their respective institutions to increase the level of their career satisfaction and consequently, their commitment to their respective schools.

The Relationship

We explored the mediating role of perceived organizational support (POS) on the relationship between job security and 2 dimensions important in employee work outcomes: extrarole behavior and turnover intention. Participants were 212 subordinate team members and their supervisors, who were employed by an air transportation group in China, and we found that POS partially mediated the relationship between job security and extrarole behavior and fully mediated the relationship between job security and turnover intention. Implications for management practice and limitations in this study are discussed.
