Otherwise, “gender” and “age” have a great impact on the overall job satisfaction. Female employees are more agreeable with interal equity, openness, appeal of reward equity than male employees. Besides, male employees are more agreeable with communication and participation of reward equity than female employees. Female employees are also more satisfied with intrinsic satisfaction than male employees. Finally, regression anlyses showed that reward equity and job satisfaction are greatly correlational: 1.) External equity, openness, and appeal of reward equity have great influences on overall job satisfaction; 2.) fairness, openness, communication, and appeal of reward equity have great influences on intrinsic satisfaction; 3.) communication and appeal of reward equity have great influences on work happiness satisfaction; 4.) external equity, openness, participation, and appeal of reward equity have great influences on real incentive satisfaction.
