Exploring The Relationship Between Gender Discrimination and Job Satisfaction: A Perceived Discrimination Perspective

Abstract

The impact of perceived discrimination is the main topic of this study, which examines the connection between gender discrimination and job satisfaction. In addition to addressing the widespread gender prejudice in the workplace, the study looks at how job happiness is affected by discriminatory beliefs. Employers from a variety of industries provide data using quantitative methodologies, which evaluate gender, perceived discrimination, and job happiness. The detrimental impacts of gender discrimination on job satisfaction are revealed by statistical analyses, which are mediated by discrimination perceptions. Finding moderating factors in this relationship is the goal of the study. In order to address gender bias, implications direct inclusive strategies for businesses and policymakers. The research reveals complex relationships between gender discrimination, perceived discrimination, and job happiness, adding to our understanding of psychology. The study, which included 54 Government Girls High Schools with 270 teachers apiece, demonstrates that female teachers have a favorable attitude about their jobs, which affects their motivation, commitment, and student outcomes. This study adds to our understanding of the job satisfaction of Pakistani female teachers working in public schools in Lahore.
