In Lebanese organizations, only religious values impacted job satisfaction, contradicting broader Arab societal norms. Other tested work values did not significantly influence employee attitudes or job satisfaction.

Area of Science:

  • Organizational Behavior
  • Sociology
  • Cross-Cultural Psychology

Background:

  • Work values are theorized to differ across cultures, with specific assumptions about Arab societies.
  • Previous research suggests potential links between religiosity, attitudes towards women in the workplace, organizational design, locus of control, and job satisfaction.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To test the applicability of commonly assumed work values in Arab societies to employees within Lebanese organizations.
  • To investigate the relationship between religiosity and attitudes toward women's workplace involvement.
  • To examine the impact of organizational design and locus of control on job satisfaction in a Lebanese context.

Main Methods:

  • A review of existing literature informed the formulation of four specific hypotheses.

  • Empirical testing of these hypotheses was conducted on employees in Lebanese organizations.

    • Main Results:

    • Only one hypothesis was supported: organizational policies conflicting with employees' religious values adversely affected job satisfaction.
    • No significant support was found for the hypotheses linking religiosity to positive attitudes toward women in the workplace.
    • No support was found for the hypotheses that employee satisfaction is related to mechanistic organizational design or that internal locus of control leads to higher job satisfaction.

    Conclusions:

    • Lebanese workers' job satisfaction is significantly influenced by the alignment of organizational policies with their religious values.
    • The findings suggest that Lebanese employees may not universally share the work value attributes often ascribed to broader Arab societies.
    • Further research is needed to understand the nuances of work values in specific Middle Eastern organizational contexts.
