Resumo: The purpose of this paper is to explore differences between non-family employees of family firms and employees of non-family firms regarding their levels of job satisfaction. Moreover, focusing on family firms, we assess the impact of non-family employees’ perceptions of organizational justice on their levels of job satisfaction; we also seek to understand which dimensions of job satisfaction are most affected by the employees’ perceptions of organizational justice. The empirical evidence is provided by a sample of 205 Portuguese employees (98 non-family employees of family firms and 107 employees of non-family firms), working in small and medium-sized privately-owned enterprises. The findings reveal that non-family employees of family firms do not differ from employees of non-family firms regarding their levels of job satisfaction. Furthermore, it was found that, in family firms, there is a positive influence of the perceptions of organizational justice on job satisfaction levels, in particular regarding satisfaction with benefits and supervision.

Por otra parte, se evalúa, dentro de las empresas familiares, el impacto que tiene las percepciones de justicia organizacional de los empleados que no pertenecen a la familia, en los niveles de satisfacción laboral; y además, se busca entender cuáles son las dimensiones de satisfacción laboral que se ven más afectadas por las percepciones de justicia organizacional por parte de los trabajadores. Se cuenta con una muestra de 205 trabajadores portugueses (98 de ellos pertenecientes a empresas familiares y 107 pertenecientes a empresas no familiares). Todos los participantes incluidos en la muestra trabajan en pequeñas y medianas empresas privadas. Los hallazgos revelan que aquellos empleados que trabajan en empresas familiares pero que no pertenecen a la familia no difieren en sus niveles de satisfacción laboral de los empleados que trabajan en empresas no familiares. Más aún, se encuentra que, en las empresas familiares, hay una influencia positiva de las percepciones de justicia organizacional en los niveles de satisfacción laboral,ElsevierRepositório do ISPAPimentel, Duarte Nuno Gonçalves2020-07-23T15:47:40Z2018-01-01T00:00:00Z2018-01-01T00:00:00Zinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10400.12/7721engEuropean Journal of Family Business, 8, 93-1022444-877X10.24310/ejfbejfb.v8i2.5178info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessreponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAP2022-09-05T16:43:27ZPortal AgregadorONG
