Abstract
The study aimed to explore the moderating effect of occupational status on the relationship between organizational justice and employee job satisfaction. Data analysis was performed on a sample of 783 private enterprise employees through hierarchical linear model. The results confirmed that organizational justice has a positive significant impact on employee job satisfaction. It further suggested that occupational status moderates the impact of procedural justice on job satisfaction. The positive link between procedural justice and job satisfaction is stronger for employees with low occupational status as compared to high occupational status. The findings hold implications for management researchers and managers to implement necessary interventions to enhance employee job satisfaction.
