A Survey of the Mediating Role of Perceived Organizational Support in the Relationship between Ethical Context and Female Employee's Job Response

Nowadays, because of women's tendency to fill job opportunities especially at universities, it seems quite essential to carry out researches specifically on their job responses (JR). In addition, women seem more sensitive to ethical and supportive issues in organization. The purpose of this research was to survey the impact of ethical context (EC) on job response of female employees in Mashhad University. It also investigates the mediation role of perceived organizational support (POS). The method of sampling is classification of two stage based on standard questionnaires distributed among 210 employees at that university. The researcher used ANOVA tests, factor analysis and structural equation to analyze the data. The findings of the research indicated that POS has a complete mediation effect in the relationship between EC and satisfaction and a partial mediation effect in the relationship between EC and turnover intention. However, the indirect and direct negative effect of EC on satisfaction was manifested.
