Organizations must be able to learn quickly and constantly, continuously innovate and take new strategic
move faster and more convenient Ulrich 1998. A study ofLaursen and Foss 2013 explained that the causal
mechanisms underlying the relationship between HRM and innovation remains exclusive, so further research is
needed. Based on empirical studiesNasiripour et al. 2013 variables of knowledge sharing has a positive
effect on innovation. This indicates that the variables of knowledge sharing can handle business matters. This
study begins to explore the factors that affect innovation. This is in line with research of Naghavi et al. 2014
which proves that there is a significant positive relationship of knowledge management processes for
organizational innovation.
Something that can not be avoided by the organization is facing constant change, means the organization must
make a discomfort with the status quo, the ability to detect trend emerging competition more quickly, the
ability to make quick decisions, and agility to find new ways of doing business. It is unlikely to be realized in
the absence of harmonization of all parties that have a strategic role. Therefore, it is expected that there is a
positive relationship between unified knowledge sharing with organizational innovation.
Hypothesis 2. The improved implementation of the
unified knowledge
sharing will
improve the
implementation of organizational innovation.
2.4. The Relationship SHRM Roles with
Organizational Innovation
People are not the product, they are the main asset of an innovative organization Gupta and Singhal 1993. HR
is involved in the whole process of innovation, because 1 it is considered that the innovative capacity of a
company to be in intelligence, imagination and creativity of employees Mumford 2000, 2 the
implications and their support is needed for the development
and implementation
of innovation
Vrakking 1990. Several studies Jiang et al. 2012; Jime´nez-Jime´nez
and Sanz-Valle 2008; Tan and Nasurdin 2011 explained that there is a positive relationship between HR and
innovation. Research conducted bySanders et al. 2010 revealed that satisfaction on HR practices, especially
satisfaction with influence and work content, positively related to innovative behavior, but the satisfaction of the
primary benefits is negatively related to innovative behavior. With the existence of the gap in this paper
raises the variable unified knowledge sharing, to mediate between the strategic role of HR relationship
with organizational innovation. With reference to previous studies, it is expected that the relationship
between the strategic role of HR in organizational innovation is positive.
Hypothesis 3. The more intense the strategic role of HR,
the better implementation of organizational innovation.
2.5. Perceived Organizational Support HR management should be responsible for the
orientation and training of line management on the importance of high morale and how to achieve it. In
addition, the new HR employees should pay attention to the voice in the discussion of management; offers
employees the opportunity for personal and professional growth; and providing resources that help employees
meet their demands. Thus it would be more constructive communication
openness impact
on perceived
organizational support is better. Individuals are more likely to form a belief as to the
extent to which the organization values their contributions and cares about their well-being
Eisenberger et al. 1996.Some individuals may base their perceived organizational support POS on factors
such as the desire of the members of the organization to provide special assistance or special equipment to
complete an activity. Other people may develop a strong sense based on the willingness of the members of the
organization to provide additional opportunities for training that appeals to them. In addition, employees are
often sensitive to environmental constraints and related organizations that may limit their ability to provide the
desired benefits. Perceived organizational support associated with the belief that it will fulfill its
obligations by giving awards to employees Settoon et al. 1996.
There are two aspects to determine the condition of perceived organizational support employee. Both of
these aspects are: appreciation of the contribution of the employee organization and the organizations attention
to the welfare of employees.
The need for innovation in organizations has resulted in a new focus on the role of a leader in shaping the nature
and success of the creative effort Mumford and Licuanan 2004.While the creative ideas of individual
employee level, does not always lead to the success of the creative idea at the organizational level. But at least
it provides a starting point for organizational innovation Zhou and George 2001. Therefore, for individual
employees perceived organizational support will encourage the implementation of a unified knowledge
sharing. And it also shows that the perceived organizational support will be positively related to
organizational innovation.
Hypothesis 4. The improved perceived organiza tional
support will further encourage a unified knowledge sharing.
Hypothesis 5. The improved perceived organiza tional
support will further encourage the implementation of organizational innovation.

3. CONCEPTUALIZATION OF THE MODEL
The concept of unified knowledge sharing is to share knowledge in an integrated manner by the leadership of
the organization, in order to implement organizational innovation in each unit of work in order to synergy the
integrity of the building innovation compiled by the organization. Therefore innovation in each unit needs
continuity with organizational innovation. This requires support from both organizational factors and individual
factors.
Figure 1. Research Model Organizational factors in this case is the strategic role of
human resources in organizations. Human resources strategic role is the leader in every unit. While
individual factors are how individuals who have a strategic role, have a positive attitude towards the
organization by having pride in accomplishments that have been achieved, understand that the organization
cares about the welfare of employees, the contributions of employees, consider the goals and values of
employees, giving attention to employees and willing to help if there are employees who require special
assistance Eisenberger et al. 2001. In this study, it is categorized as a POS, which is an experience-based
attribution concerning the benevolent or malevolent intent of the organizations policies, norms, procedures,
and actions as they affect employees.
Therefore, the proposed model is expected to lead to the realization of organizational innovation which involves
both organizational factors and individual factors. On the whole model can be presented as in Figure 1. In this
figure, it appears that the unified knowledge sharing is a variable that can mediate the relationship between
variable resource strategic role for organizational innovation and POS relations to organizational
innovation.
The model of this research can be applied to a wide range of manufacturing and services industries. The
respondents of this study is the line manager who has the authority in decision-making. But in the near future,
the research will be conducted at universities and colleges respondents leaders ranging from laboratory
coordinator, head of the study program, dean, head of the bureau and some leaders who have a strategic role in
the achievement of higher education innovation. The leaders are strategic human resource which has the
authority to make decisions. The leaders are playing a strategic role that leads to strategic support for the
achievement of organizational goals, in this case is the innovation organization.
4. MEASUREMENT VARIABLE
Measurement of the strategic role of human resource variables using the indicators established by Ulrich
1998, which consists of a role as a Strategic Partner, b Administrative Expert, c Employee Champion, and d
Change Agent.
The indicators used to measure the unified knowledge sharing, there are four items, the first item: a willingness
to cooperate,that is the item proposed in this study, and three subsequent items adopted fromMathuramaytha
2012. The following indicators of unified knowledge sharing:
willingness to cooperation, willingness to share, capability to learn, capability to transfer
knowledge. Organizational innovation in this study were divided
into three main dimensions, namely: product innovation, process innovation and administrative innovation based
on the types that have been discussed in previous literature Jime´nez-Jime´nez and Sanz-Valle 2008.
POS was measured with items adopted from Eisenberger et al. 2001, consists of: a The
organization proud of my accomplishments, b The organization really cares about my well-being, c
Organization appreciate my contribution to the welfare, d Organization is considering the goals and values of
me, e The organization showed little concern to me R, f The organization is willing to help me if I need
special assistance.
5. CONCLUSION
The final section of this paper confirms that the unified knowledge sharing is a variable that can encourage
organizations to achieve organizational innovation. This is in line with several studies that have been conducted
Lin 2007; Majchrzak et al. 2004; Nonaka et al. 2000. In order to realize an organizational innovation required
organizational factors and individual factors. Without the support of these two variables, it is difficult to
capture, organize, reuse, and transfer of knowledge based on existing experience in every interaction of
individuals in the organization. Study ofMajchrzak et al. 2004also prove how the reuse of knowledge in the
event of a change of innovation.
Individual Factors
Organizational Factors

Managerial implication
is that
the need
for harmonization and coherence in knowledge sharing, in
order to realize synergies of innovation happening in the various levels of the organization. Both at the level of
the bottom to the top level of the organization. In addition, if a problem occurs in a work unit, by the
unified knowledge sharing, it can be quickly resolved.
Future research can refer this article to build the realization of organizational innovation, ie taking into
account both organizational factors and individual factors. This is important because the organization
consists of various working units and individuals that potentially
contribute to
organizational change.
Although there are several possible variables that can be developed for future research.

ABSTRACT
Organizational Commitment as one of Human Resource Management theory is an intriguing subject to discuss. It is one that organization should aware to acknowledge employee’s attachment. Literaturs of organizationa commitment showed
different result e.g., organization, occupation, union on its essence, the antecedents and consequences , and its development. Organizational Commitment’s impact on employee is arguable. This study presents a sum of
organizational commitment among different profession. The result of the implication on Human Resource practitioner are discussed.
Keywords :
Organizational Commitment, employee’s attachment, profession Organizational commitment is one of the most
commonly examined attitudes in the organizational sciences literature and has particularly interested
researchers since Meyer and Allen
proposed a three- dimension model of the construct.
The matter on commitment is no longer about being employee of an organization, but more about the
emotional energies toward the profession occupation to which they belong Meyer and Allen 1998
Today’s business means dealing with which way to pleased customers in various field that put human
being’s roles and aspects within its programs. Human being is a beautiful compound of emotion and
intelligence. This explain the background of every human ca
pital’s mindset thus makes it important to promote indepth researches on the consequences of
commitment based on employee’s different mindset. Human capital is a source of inovation and strategies
source of an organization. Human capital leads the organiz
ation to invent and recognize it’s basic value Ghorbanhosseini 2013.
Organizational commitment is beyond loyalty. It implies the employee’s intention to stay and continue to
work in organization. Employee might stand for organization even over his her material awareness as
well as his her social psycological benefit. Organizational commitment arised when organization
goals and values were identified. High committed employee will voluntary involved within hisher daily
work without questioning the effect reward. They will expend their material and physical matter Rusu 2013;
Balay and Ipek 2010. This is seem to be too good to be true but yet it is possible to achieve. It is no doubt that
leading employees to attached to their organization is a big work. Persons within organization will socially
interact within their workinghood and curved their attitude and behavior Dineen, et al, 2007.
At
close range, the organization’s future might depend on a good set of human capital. Organization in recent
days are willing to spread even a higher remuneration mixed with distinctive career growth to keep the human
capital inside Permarupan 2013. Organizations are becoming more dependent on a committed employee in
order to get its competitive advantage. It is arguably more important to understand the nature, development
and implication of employee commitment Meyer and Parfyonova 2010.
The purpose of this article is to describe organizational commitment situation among various professions.
Workforce in different professions are potential to have different mindset about issues, as in this research the
issue will be organizational commitment. Commitment is a force that binds an individual to a
course of action of relevance to a target which can be accompanied by different mindset that play a role in
shaping behavior Meyer and Herscovitch 2001. Previously, Meyer and Allen had specifically explain
the organizational commitment’s dimension. Supported by other researches, the organizational commitment
seem to be more colorful. It always be associated with high scoupe of positive effects Shagholi 2011.
Nevertheles, on certain aspects of it dimensionality, negative effects also appear. For example, the affective
commitment
shows strong
contribution for
organizational readiness for change. It means that the employee’s connection to organization may reflects
different degree to the whole components. The more

employees feel attached to their organization, the more they will committed to organization and the more they
are willing to embrace the organizational change Nordin 2011. And yet in detail , continuance
commitment effects negatively on job satisfaction and performance Namasivayam and Zhao 2007.
There were change of nature of commitment from organizational to professional. It was the impact of faith
in and acceptance of goals and values of the profession; willingness to incur the effort in the implementation of
the profession and the desire to remain in the profession. People feel that they will live better under a sense of
stability. Decreasing and loosing the bind of the relationship of employee and organization is in the great
extant caused by market condition and organizational issue. When one is touched by positive stimuli and
conditions that allow him her to satisfy hisher needs, the development of comitment occurs. In this case, the
organization need to maintain conducive condition of work in order to preserve the motivation to work
Bienkowska 2012.
Many aspects may effect the employee’s attachment to organization, such as organizational culture, emotional
intelligence, office design, job experience, tenure, age, gender etc. To some extant of researches review, this
point out to a conclusion that organizational commitment may effects differently in different type of
professions. It is interesting to analyse the organizational
commitment among professions. Optimizing the multi
– sector professional relies on the collaboration of program managers , human capital, acquisition, and
business and finance professional Kangas 2009. When professionals work in bureaucratic organization, they
experiece conflicting goals and feel compelled to choose one loyalty over another. Under such
circumstances , they were expected to be more committed to their profession than to the employing
organization.This article presenting the impact of organizational commitment among professions by any
aspects it may costs. The extant review of some researches, this article presenting organizational
commitment among multi-professions. Multi
– sector professionals are working under different organizational
culture and organizational structure. This had lead researchers to harvest vary interesting result of their
research. In accordance to organizational culture, teachers
perceived support , power , role and achievement culture respectively. Balay Ipek 2009 found that
primary schools do not have a specific or a bold organizational culture, they share overall tendencies to a
certain extend. Above of all oeganizational culture, teachers of primary schools perceive support culture
more than achievement culture. In fact achievement culture were found at the lowest level. It means that
teachers show a moderate organizational commitment to their
school. Class
teachers experience
more achievement and support culture orientation and feel
organizational commitment at identification and internalization level. Married teachers were found more
committed to school than the single teachers. In the aspects of age and tenure, senior teachers in high school
delivered more organizational commitment. Only that the longer the senior teachers stay, the less they have
career change. There is a concern of losing job in the middle age and the pressure form work environment
that affect organizational commitment. Within this they give high loyalty and feel of belonging which generate
them strongly to devoted them selves and intention to stay. T
he education and dedication is teacher’s consciousness and natural obligation which were
irrelevant to school charactheristics. The organizational sense of identity and intention to stay were showed most
by senior
teachers. Director
posessed higher
organizational commitment then the team leader and general teachers Wang and Hwang 2007.
Staff professionals seem to be working under conditions in which they have captured control over the objectives
of their work and participate in policy making and thus directly helping their employing organization. Loyalty
to the employing organization appears to dependent on professional’s oppotunities for career advancement.
Work motivation is the most important determinant of professional commitment for staff lawyers. Lawyers
working in nonprofessional organizational are less committed to profession. Professional and non
professional organization are different in making decision on to their professional career especially in
career promotion. This is what differ the organizatonal commitment level among lawyers Wallace 1995.
Organizational
commitment among
finance professionals were unrelated to performance and result
disatisfying outcome for the involve stakeholders in professionals service delivery. They work under a
competitive environment that focus more on individual issue.
Finance professionals
serves customer
individually and provide intense and professional relationship to them thus tie them in to a deeper bond
with customer. This condition enable them to spend more time with customer and make them able to
understand the customer in person. The employed finance professional then must face commitment issue
that questioned them either their employees committed to them or to customer. Furtmueller et al 2011,
suggested the organization to invest more to permanent worker and long
– term employment relationship to permanent worker. Organization also need to create
bonds with professionals that might minimize
The 2015 International Conference of Management Sciences ICoMS 2015, April 23, UMY, Indonesia
| 207
commitment conflicts and provide sufficient number of professional’s incentives thus strive to develop it in
order to keep the finance professional. The higher those professionals were professionally awarded the more
they will concidered to leave the organization Furtmueller 2011.
Other finance professional showed fruity result on organizational commitment. Gender become the issue to
discuss in Mallon 2003.
Reed’s et al study in 1994 on finance accountant. The study found that female
accountant were no less committed to organization than were males. Female accountant with external orientation
were found to be less comfort to their position and intent to find another opportunities. One’s tenure and
job experience positively associated to organizational commitment. Short tenure was positively associated
with job satisfaction for female and positively associated with organizational commitment with male.
A lengthy tenure was found positively associated woth organization commitment for female. The longer an
accountant work , they will endure their contract with organization. Female with external orientation need to
actualized them selves thus a higher achievement is a must.
Moreover, the role of female on organizational commitment resulted differently on army. Soldiers
perceive that the army is supportive of their family has significant direct and indirect impacts on the level of
commitment the soldier feels toward the army. Organizational
commitment among
soldiers is
unconditionally. However, the role of the soldier’s wife is inevitable factor due to soldier’s commitment. Army
– family conflict affected the organizational commitment of soldiers mediated by wife’s
commitment.
Soldier’s orgainzational commitment influence by the army’s family support policies. The
army’s policy will also lead to a lower conflict between the military and the family. It is delivering message that
family is considered as a part of the army’s family. Soldiers must obtain their duty for country, such as
being sent to the middle of war and other duties that might risky for their lives. Under this circumstance, they
must leave their family in a long term. Therefore they need their family to encourage them and support them
through the hard duty. Soldiers committed to their family as well to their country institution. They will be
more committed to institution when their family is concerned Bourg and Segal 1999.
The army situation showed that fimancial issue is no longer
matter to
show higher
organizational commitment. Organization need to support financially
and emotionally to employees in order to keep their employees. Despite of the financial award or emotinal
award , office redesign is also one the factor that may enhamce employee’s organizational commitment. An
office redesign environment is significant in improving employee’s commitment. Employees enjoying work in a
comfortable
environment thus
may increases
employee’s performance. A comfort and less distraction make them feel like they want to stay longer inside the
office. Nevertheles, organization’s award in expressing appreciation for the sacrifice employees also generates
power d
ue to increasing employee’s commitment Morrow 2012.
A positive relationship between emotional intelligence and organizational showed by other professions.
Emotionally , Turkish nurses showed higher organizational commitment , while emotional appraisal
showed no effects. This study is contrary to Morrow’s study among Army. Nurses are willing to help other in
self-awareness and understand their own behavior. By having good emotional capacity, nurses will be able to
control their feeling and understand other’s feeling as well , thus enable them to be effectively dealing with
other’s feeling Guleryuz and al 2008. As social worker,
caregiver should
deliver services
compassionately. Any particular award in term of this emotion service is
less concerned because nurses perceive this as part of their job and thus become nurses nature’s culture.
Previous research showed that subculture associated strongly to organizational commitment among nurses.
Innovative and supportive subcultures were found positively impact commitment, while a bureaucratic
subculture had moderate impact to commitment. Higher order needs such as level of control, amount of
interaction
and the
level of
relationship to
organizational commitment . Organizational subculture had stronger effect to organizational commitment while
organization culture had less effect. The study also showed that age showed small effect on commitment.
Other factors such as education , length of position and years of experience did not show any relationship with
commitment Lok and Crawford 1999. Nurses need to be acknowledged by other profession within hospital.
The higher-order needs such as level of control enable them to be watched off thus lead a further interaction to
others. While Doctors in Turkey concider the patterns of
leaders effect hospital’s organizational culture but the
The 2015 International Conference of Management Sciences ICoMS 2015, April 23, UMY, Indonesia
| 208
harmony of leadership behavior and the organizational culture did not efect organizational commitment. Their
loyalty is not affected by organizational culture. They embraced the organization culture may have been low.
Turkish Doctors also work at private clinics outside the working hour in hospital. This what assume to be the
reason of the lower concideration of the hospital organizational culture by doctors. As
the doctor’s perception of leadership behavior is high, the level of
organizational commitment will rising up as well. In accordance to this situation, hospital must establish a
full participation scheme among its employees Gocke and al 2014.
Other research on executive Doctors revealed dual commitment among them. This dual commitment
reflecting other work attitude that encouraged success in management role. The research found that executive
Doctors are able to balancing both organizational and professional commitment. They showed commitment
when the work environment is comfortable and supportive Timothy J Hoff 2001
Organizational commitment lays on every span of organization. People within organization at every
hierarchical level perceived organizational commitment differently. A research among different organization in
India found that more job autonomy on employees, then job commitment will high as well. Employees in higher
level showed higher commitment if they were giving job autonomy. Lower level employees showed lower
job commitment even though they were on high job autonomy. The variable of job autonomy is an effective
variable only on higher hierarchy group and ineffective variable incase of low hierarchy group of employees
Sisodia and Das 2013. Employees with greater job autonomy is like being trusted by organization.
Employees are able to manage their own job and free to make decision related to the job. Therefore, they feel
like their efforts were appreciated by organization. A study among public and private organizations in
different field showed that affective commitment directly effect professional efficacy and influenced
turnover negatively. It also reduces professional burnout and withdrawal behavior. Continuance commitment
positively affect cynicism , resistant to change and witholding effort and effect negatively to propensity to
turnover. Employees spent emotional exhaustion when organization give less attention on employment
alternative. Within this situation, employees will concidering
their commitment
to organization.
Normative commitment was the predictor of cynicism, while cynicism enhaces the intention to change resistant
among male. Both male and female positively affect professional efficacy indirectly and negatively affect
propensity to turnover. Witholding effort is what makes lower
professional efficacy,
higher emotional
exhaustion and frequent cynic behavior Endriulaitiene 2014.
Different combinations of multiple commitment has now become a challenging issue within organization.
The focus of many employee’s commitment were driven down to smaller organizational such as division,
branches and teams Meyer and al 1998. In summary to this article, different perspective of organizational
commitment among professions may implies on to managerial policy. The manager bridging employees
and organization in terms of achieving better performance and fulfilling the organizational goals. Due
to asses the organizational commitment among professions , organization need to assert some policies.
The extant review of this article and other research, the policies to establish are :
1. Educational organization such primary school and
high school must create a speciffic culture that will determine or
ganization’s colour and able to promote competitive performance among teachers.
2. Lawyer’s employed organization should provide
definite status among its employees. Professional management
within organization
is unconditionally.
3. A comfortable “working hood” , decreasing
contract employees and establishing bond among employees will likely a blend of actions that
finance professionals organization should be provided.
4. Army’s institution need to establish family
programs, so that soldier’s family feel like they are embraced as an internal part of the institution.
Exhibiting family gathering or any similar activity is recommended.
5. Building a state minded culture is likely
recommended to hospital. As Doctors perceived less organizational culture while Nurses are more
dependable to organization subculture. The role of the leader is important due to this policy.
6. Due to other professions, employed organization
must increase trust to their employees by giving more job autonomy. Organizational culture need to
be strengthened in order to rise stronger and competitive situation among employees.

1. INTRODUCTION
Regional Offices of Ministry of Religious Affairs West Sulawesi Province is the government agency
tasked to carry out government duties and development in the field of religion in West Sulawesi
province that continues to develop and improve systems management capabilities in developing
human resource for development organizations committed to the fullest directing employees to work
effectively and efficiently in order to achieve organizational goals, namely to create a Community
of West Sulawesi religious and
malaqbi
. A variety of important tasks to be carried out by the Regional
Office of the Ministry of Religious Affairs of West Sulawesi
province and
thus require
good performance of each employee. Regional Office of
the Ministry of Religious Affairs of West Sulawesi province consistently enforce labor discipline as well
as a variety of comprehensive programs to increase employee commitment to the organization. One of
the most important factors to ensure that employees are
held to
support the
performance and
organizational commitment in the Regional Office of the Ministry of Religious Affairs of West Sulawesi
province is compensation justice. Justice researchers has consistently identified three
types of perceptions of justice, namely: distributive, procedural, and interactional Byrne et al Colquitt
in., 2003. Value of distributive and procedural justice have become important factors in the
decision. Perceptions of distributive justice is a comparison with another Marshall, et al., 2001,
whereas the individuals perception of procedural justice individuals within the organization while
procedural rules that exist in the organization are met by the policy makers. Conversely, if the procedures
in the organization are violated, the individual will perceive injustice Sabbagh, 2003. Tjahjono 2010,
said that the values of justice is a very important element in managerial decision making. Decision-
making in the form of compensation, promotion career, formal performance appraisal and other
managerial decisions. Not only notice to compensation justice, a match
between the value of an individual with the organization or person-organization fit PO-Fit is

important because it will have implications on the rise in the organizational commitment of employees
while on duty at the Regional Office of the Ministry of Religious Affairs of West Sulawesi Province.
Individuals who feel an injustice will perform negative actions in response to the treatment
organization. If these measures do not restore fair treatment of the company, the employee will be
inclined to take action to resign. PO-Fit is key to maintaining a flexible and committed work force that
is necessary in a competitive business environment and a tight labor market Iplik, Kemal and Azmi,
2011. Besides PO-Fit, high level of job satisfaction will
affect
employees organizational
commitment towards the organization. Employees who are
satisfied it will have organizational commitment made to work optimally in achieving organizational
effectiveness thus
improving organizational
outcomes. In this case the organization to get a number
of outcomes
such as
productivity, commitment and performance while individuals get
satisfaction on a number of policies such as compensation systems, career, work environment
and others. In this context, organizational outcomes associated with something that is earned by the
employees personal outcomes and relates to something that is obtained by the organization
organizational outcomes generally in research proxy for organizational commitment Tjahjono,
2010. Job satisfaction refers to a persons attitude towards his job. Employees with a high level of job
satisfaction showed a positive attitude towards work which they are responsible. Belief that satisfied
employees will take effect for the company, making job satisfaction becomes aware of the company.
According to Meyer and Allen 1991, the relationship will provide a sense of effective
employee motivation, the next will result in job satisfaction job satisfaction, which will result in a
commitment to remain in the organization. The success of an employee is determined by job
satisfaction, so that when the satisfaction and success achieved, the employees are committed to the
organization. One of the factors to increase the commitment is to provide compensation in the form
of salaries, incentives and benefits in accordance with the wishes and needs of employees. Employees
also expect fairness and transparency in the system and the process of compensation. Research on equity
compensation indicates that the individual will show the level of performance and a higher level of
commitment, and job satisfaction increase in payments, an increase in the level of trust, and the
attitude of members of the organization when they feel that the decision-making process is fair, and they
were treated fairly Rupp and Cropanzano in Byrne et al., 2003.
2. BASIC THEORY 2.1 Job Satisfaction
According to Luthans 2006 job satisfaction is an emotional state that is happy or positive emotions
derived from the assessment of a persons job or work experience. Rival and Mulyadi 2012 states
that job satisfaction is an assessment of how far the workers on the job as a whole satisfy their needs.
Spector 2006 in this case states that job satisfaction Sese describe how you feel about the work and other
aspects of the job. This is a need-asan of liking satisfied or dislike not satisfied to their work and
other aspects in their work, such as salary, job characteristics, work colleagues, and superiors.
There are three dimensions of job satisfaction according Luthans 2006, as follows: a Job
satisfaction is an emotional response to the situation and kondisikerja. Thus, job satisfaction can be seen
and to be expected; b Job satisfaction is often determined by how well the results achieved met or
exceeded expectations. For example, if members of the organization feel that they are working too hard
than others in the department, but receive fewer rewards, then they might have a negative attitude
towards work, leadership, or their co-workers. Conversely, if they feel that they are treated well and
paid appropriately, then they will probably have a positive attitude towards their work; c Job
satisfaction represents several related attitudes. Luthans 2006 suggested that high employee
satisfaction levels tend to have better physical health, learn the tasks associated with the new job more
quickly, have a bit of work accidents, improve performance, and reduce absenteeism. Ways to
improve job satisfaction, including: a Make work fun; b Have a salary, benefits, and fair promotion
opportunities; c Adjust the people with jobs that match their interests and skills, d Design work so
interesting and fun. Job satisfaction is an individual orientation that
influencing role in the work and the characteristics of the job. Job satisfaction is a reflection of ones
feelings towards his job. Individuals who join the organization will bring a set of desires, needs, desires
that shape employment expectations Tett Meyer, 1993. Job satisfaction showed concordance between
ones expectations that arise with regard to employment, as a set of feelings.

2.2 Compensation Justice
Compensation is everything received by employees as remuneration for their work Hanni Handoko,
2001. Where compensation programs are also important for the company because it reflects the
organizations efforts to maintain its human resources. In addition, compensation in the form of
wages and other remuneration is the biggest cost component-component and important. When wages
and salaries are not administered properly it will have an impact on the loss of trained human
resources and has consequences
must train employees again.
Researchers justice has consistently identified three types of perceptions of fairness, namely: distributive,
procedural, and interactional Byrne et al Colquitt in., 2003. Perceptions of distributive justice refers to
the fairness judgments about the results received by the individual. The findings of the study explained
that distributive justice related to the individuals perception on its relationship with other individuals
who have the resources Marshall et al., 2001. Tjahjono 2010; 2011 said that the values of justice
is a very important element in managerial decision making. Structural decision-making in the form of
compensation,
promotion career,
formal performance
appraisal and
other managerial
decisions. Value of distributive and procedural justice have become important factors in the
decision. The first theory is related to workers perceptions
about the results is called distributive justice. A second theory of procedural justice that focuses on
employee perceptions of fairness of the procedures used to make decisions. And the third theory is
interactional justice that emphasizes the perception of fairness of interpersonal treatment received by
workers. Distributive justice has evolved to develop the theory in relation to every aspect and employee
perceptions regarding the results of the decisions taken by the organization and their responses to the
basic form of this distribution justice Thornhill and Saunders, 2003.
Compensation distributive justice is the allocation of employee perceptions of fairness salary they receive.
From the aspect of distributive justice employees Consider the allocation of the salary distribution
Tjahjono, 2009. Procedural justice is the perception of the fairness of the procedures used to the make
decisions so that every member of the organization was Involved in it. Procedural justice is about the
perception of employee equity compensation mechanism allocation process or the salary they
receive. Compensation procedural justice effect on their attitudes Tjahjono, 2009; Palupi, 2013.
Procedural justice relates to a process or procedure to distribute the awards. The theory of procedural
justice with regard to the procedures used by Organizations
to distribute
the results
and organizational resources to its members.
Bass 2003 stated that procedural justice departed from the psychological processes experienced by the
employee,
the employees
how to
evaluate procedures related to justice. Gilliland in Pareke
2003 stated that the perspective of the structural components saying that procedural justice is a
function of the extent to which a number of procedural rules obeyed or violated. These rules have
important implications because it is seen as a manifestation of the values of the basic processes in
the organization. So individuals in the organization will perceive procedural justice when the procedural
rules that exist in the organization are met by the policy makers. Conversely, if the procedures in the
organization are violated, the individual will perceive injustice.
