Abstract

The objectives of this research are to examine the relationship between perceptions of both internal and external equity (independent factors) and job fulfillment (dependent factor) among Malaysian university workers and to define the comparative significance of independents factors (perception of interior equity and perception of exterior equity in forecasting job fulfillment in Malaysian Universities. A multiple regression analysis was undertaken to indicate the outcomes derived from data gathering by administering a questionnaire among 150 employees who were selected randomly at Malaysian public and private universities. The research outcomes showed affirmative connections between perceptions of internal and external equity and job fulfillment. The findings also revealed that perception of internal equity has more impact on forecasting job fulfillment than perception of external equity. Nevertheless, this research is exploratory in nature and the outcomes are not definite.
