Abstract
The purpose of this study was twofold. First, to find out disparity in gross pay of the employees serving in the same Basic Pay Scale (BPS) in the Federal Government of Pakistan and to examine the causes and rationale of such disparity. Second, to investigate the impact of perceived pay satisfaction on employee’s organizational citizenship behavior (OCB). Both qualitative and quantitative data was collected from 250 employees working in eight federal government organizations (n=250). The qualitative data was collected through interviews by employing key respondent approach, while quantitative data was collected through the use of questionnaires. The data analysis revealed substantial variation in gross pay received by equally placed (in the same BPS) employees of the Federal Government. A model of pay-satisfaction – OCB relationship was developed and tested by using the aforesaid data. The results of the model testing revealed that pay satisfaction has positive significant impact on OCB. Furthermore, motivation mediated the relationship between pay satisfaction and organizational citizenship behavior. The study might be first of its kind and will significantly contribute to the existing literature on pay satisfaction, motivation and OCB relationship.
