Job satisfaction of women managers in Lebanon: The effect of organizational factors in the services industry

Abstract

This study examined the association between selected organizational factors and job satisfaction dimensions. The study sample consisted of 346 women managers working in the services industry in Lebanon. This study findings indicate that managerial rank, monthly salary, and the size of the organization have a statistically significant effect on the job satisfaction of Lebanese women managers. Overall, the data revealed that women managers in the services industry were satisfied with their careers, despite their dissatisfaction with pay, fringe benefits, and promotions. The findings present implications for business management processes, human resource practices, and government-led initiatives in Lebanon and in the Arab Middle East. © 2013 The Author(s).
