Pay referent comparison and pay level satisfaction in private versus public sector organizations in India

Article Abstract:

Research into pay level satisfaction and pay referent levels of Indian public and private employees found private sector workers were happier with the level of pay they received. Private employees also felt they were promised higher earnings from their employers. By being seen to pay higher wages helped companies recruit new workers. Not fulfilling promises of higher wages could be detrimental to worker and employer relationships. The level of pay is a very important part of job satisfaction. The study compared the pay of 71 private sector and 47 public sector employees

Barriers to Omanization in the private sector: the perceptions of Omani graduates

Article Abstract:

A study was conducted to examine employment barriers facing Omani graduates in the private sector. The government is keen to promote Omanization. However, a questionnaire revealed that 65% of respondents wanted to work in the public sector because salaries and benefits, such as annual leave, working hours and chances for career development were considered to be more attractive than in the private sector. The students were also not fully aware of the employment possibilities in the private sector. Policies need to be developed to overcome these perceptions.
