This thesis addressed the topic of perceived ethnic and sex discrimination and examined their relationships with work-related outcomes (i.e., job satisfaction, organizational commitment, work motivation). It was expected that perceptions of discrimination held by employees would have a detrimental impact on their job satisfaction, organizational commitment, and work motivation. In addition, this study examined whether work locus of control has a moderating effect on the relationship between perceptions of discrimination and work motivation.
Using a diverse sample of 230 employees from various organizations, the study found that perceived ethnic and perceived sex discrimination were negatively related with job satisfaction and organizational commitment. However, only a significant negative correlation existed between perceived ethnic discrimination and work motivation. The moderating effect of work locus of control on perceived discrimination and work motivation was not found. Implications of these results are discussed.
