Gender and the Perceived Equity - Perceived Organizational Support Link in Egypt

This study aimed at examining the relationships between perceived internal and external salary equities as independent variables, and perceived organizational support (POS) as a dependent variable among Egyptian employees. Another objective was to investigate the moderation effect of gender on the aforementioned relationships. Data was obtained using a direct survey of 115 Egyptian employees drawn from a variety of industries. Findings suggest that both facets of perceived salary equity (internal and external) have positive relationships with POS. Findings further suggest that the relationship between perceived internal salary equity and POS is stronger among males. Theoretical contributions, study limitations, as well as recommendations for future research are discussed.
