Abstract

The purpose of the present study was to examine the relationship among interactive justice, overall job satisfaction, and organizational commitment in the Ethiopian federal state media sector. Data were gathered from samples of journalists working for Ethiopian Television, Addis Ababa Media Network, Ethiopian Press Agency and Ethiopian News Agency using self-administered scales. Findings of multiple regression analyses indicated that job satisfaction and interactive justice together explained more than a third of the variance in organizational commitment. Partial least squares methods further showed paths: (a) between interactive justice and commitment, (b) interactive justice and job satisfaction, (c) job satisfaction and commitment were significant. A mediation effect of job satisfaction on the relationship between interactive justice and commitment was also observed. Further analyses showed that, except for educational level, all other biographical and institutional antecedents played no significant role in the prediction of commitment. Implications are discussed in relation to the human resource management of media institutions.

摘要

本研究的目的是检验埃塞俄比亚联邦国家媒体部门的互动公正、整体工作满意度和组织承诺之间的关系。数据是从为埃塞俄比亚电视台、亚的斯亚贝巴媒体网络、埃塞俄比亚新闻社和埃塞俄比亚新闻社工作的记者样本中收集的，使用自我管理的量表。多元回归分析的结果表明，工作满意度和互动公平共同解释了组织承诺中超过三分之一的差异。偏最小二乘法进一步显示了路径：(a) 互动公平与承诺之间，(b) 互动公平与工作满意度之间，(c) 工作满意度和承诺之间显着。还观察到工作满意度对互动公正和承诺之间关系的中介作用。进一步的分析表明，除教育水平外，所有其他传记和制度前因在承诺的预测中都没有发挥重要作用。讨论了与媒体机构人力资源管理有关的影响。
