Abstract

In this study, we examine the impact of organizational-level and individual-level signals on sex discrimination experiences, job satisfaction, and turnover intentions in a sample of South Korean female employees and organizations. Results indicate that the number of family-friendly policies and the percentage of women employed in organizations are negatively associated with sex discrimination experienced by women. We also found that organizational level participation in development activities moderates the relationship between individual participation in development activities and sex discrimination experiences. Specifically, the negative impact of participation in development activities on sex discrimination is stronger for individuals in organizations with lower compared to higher levels of overall participation. Further, this interaction, and the gender composition of organizations workforces influence individual job satisfaction and turnover intentions via experienced sex discrimination.
