Description
Summary:In the era of fourth industrial revolution, remuneration management has become an important organizational strategy for achieving organizational objectives. The purpose of this study is to explore the influence of performance-based remuneration management on employee’s job satisfaction through the mediating role of procedural justice. A cross-sectional technique was employed to collect primary data from 232 employees of private higher educational institutions in Peninsular Malaysia who experienced the implementation of performance-based remuneration. The Partial Least Square Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM) was used in the data analysis. The outcomes displayed three important findings: first, the relationship between management of performance-based remuneration and procedural justice was significant. Second, the relationship between management of performance-based remuneration, procedural justice and intrinsic job satisfaction was significant. Third, the relationship between management of performance-based remuneration, procedural justice and extrinsic job satisfaction was significant. Statistically, this result confirms that influence of management of performance-based remuneration on job satisfaction is indirectly affected by procedural justice in the studied organizations. This study provides empirical evidence on the importance of procedural justice in managing performance-based remuneration. It is an important input to enhancing employee’s job satisfaction in the organization. Further, the study concludes with a discussion on the contributions, limitations and suggestions for future research.
