The Influence of Gender Discrimination, Supervisor Support, and Government Support on Saudi Female Journalists' Job Stress and Satisfaction

From the perspectives of Saudi female journalists, the current study examined the predictive associations between gender discrimination, supervisor support, government support, and work-related outcomes (i.e., job stress and job satisfaction). Supporting our predictions, regression analyses results revealed that perceptions of gender discrimination were positively and perceptions of supervisor support were negatively associated with job stress. In addition, we found that perceptions of supervisor support and government support had positive associations with job satisfaction. Findings are discussed considering women's participation in the media industry in Saudi Arabia in relation to gender discrimination, supervisor and government support of women.
