Predicting women's job satisfaction with personal demographics: evidence from a Middle Eastern country

Abstract

While there has been extensive research investigating the antecedents of women's job satisfaction, the majority of it has focused on Western women in developed countries. This study explores the job satisfaction of women in a developing, Middle Eastern country context through an assessment of personal demographics and their relative contributions to objective and subjective aspects of job satisfaction among women managers. More specifically, we looked at the impact of age, education, tenure, marital status and religious affiliation on the objective and subjective job satisfaction levels of 346 women managers in the services industry in Lebanon. Results indicate that job satisfaction is related to age, religious affiliation and tenure, but not to marital status and education. The implications of this study are then discussed, along with limitations and suggestions for future research.
