Pay transparency—open access to comparative wages—may help reduce wage discrepancies and otherwise benefit organizations. A 2 × 2 × 2 between-subjects factorial design was used to test the effects of pay transparency, informational justice and distributive justice on pay satisfaction and affective commitment. Case scenarios were developed to manipulate these variables and test main effect and interaction hypotheses. Full-time employees in the United States ( N = 293) were recruited from Amazon’s MTurk. Results showed main effects of pay transparency and distributive justice on both pay satisfaction and affective commitment; an informational justice effect was revealed on affective commitment. Pay transparency had a larger effect on pay satisfaction when distributive justice was low than when it was high. Exploratory analyses revealed an interaction between pay transparency, gender and race on pay satisfaction. This study confirmed positive consequences of pay transparency policies, which are proposed to be a component of informational justice.

This research study explores the moderating effect of managerial support and mediating effect of continuance and affective commitment on the association of employees’ pay satisfaction and their task performance. Data were collected from the university’s faculty members of Kingdom of Saudi Arabia ( N = 610) at two phases in time through random sampling technique. For data analysis, descriptive statistics, Pearson’s correlation analysis, and Preacher and Hayes’s PROCESS macro were utilized. The result showed that commitment positively mediates the relationship between pay satisfaction and manager-rated task performance, whereas pay satisfaction has an indirect positive relationship with task performance through continuance and affective commitment and was stronger in faculty having high managerial support. The continuance commitment mediation for the relationship of pay satisfaction and task performance is stronger compared with the mediation of affective commitment for the same relationship. This study provides a significant contribution to the literature of pay satisfaction by proposing and analyzing the associations between pay satisfaction and task performance as mediated by forms of organizational commitment and first- and second-order moderation of managerial support. The current study adds to the limited research on the effect of managerial support and commitment on the association of pay satisfaction and their task performance in higher education sector of Saudi Arabia.

The purpose of the present study was threefold. First, to test the validity of the dimensions of pay satisfaction in pay for performance systems. Second, to study the relative effects of different pay satisfaction dimensions on individual work outcomes. Third, to examine potential mediating role of affective commitment in the pay satisfaction-individual work outcome relationship. A two- sample cross-sectional survey conducted among sales executives and sales managers of two different organizations offer support for the distinctiveness of four pay satisfaction dimensions viz., fixed pay level, variable pay level, pay structure and administration, and variable pay procedure satisfaction. The findings of path analyses indicated that the dimensions differentially predicted the outcome variables. The results reported that affective commitment was not a significant mediator between pay satisfaction dimensions and work outcomes, except between variable pay level satisfaction and job performance in the first sample. However, affective commitment was significantly related to turnover intentions. Implications for theory and practice are discussed.
