Abstract
This paper has investigated the relationship between objective management measures of enterprises and employees’ job satisfaction based on information processing theory, social exchange theory and organizational justice theory. We argue that the objective management measures of enterprises-measured by compliance indicators and competitive indicators compared to other companies in the same industry or region in their rules and regulations have positive effects on employees’ job satisfaction. According to the questionnaire survey of 1,334 employees from 45 enterprises located in Chengdu’s High-Tech Zone, using the method of regression analysis, we found that there exists a positive relationship between objective management measures of enterprises as well as its two dimensions (the compliance indicators and the competitive indicators) and job satisfaction, and the industrial relations climate plays an intermediary role of them. The results suggest that corporates pay more attention to perform their duties listed in company rules and regulations and provide better employment environment to enhance the job satisfaction and establish inner harmonious labour relations.
