Abstract

This study aims at testing and analysing the effects of distributive justice and job engagement on job satisfaction as moderated by the civil servants’ leader credibility at the regional secretariat of West Sumatra Province. The quantitative approach was a research design used to test and analyse the effects. The number of the population was 485 whereas its proportional random sampling was 219 respondents. Questionnaires and documentation were research instruments to collect the data. SEM AMOS was the technique used to analyse the data. The research findings signified that, firstly, distributive justice had a positive and significant effect on the job engagement of the West Sumatra Provincial Secretariat Civil Servants. Secondly, job engagement had a positive and significant effect on the job satisfaction of the regional secretariat civil servants of West Sumatra Province. Lastly, the leader’s credibility was capable of moderating the effect of distributive justice on the job engagement of the West Sumatra provincial secretariat civil servants, at α = 0.05. The implications of this research finding are to establish the leaders’ credibility towards the West Sumatra provincial secretariat civil servants; improve civil servants’ job satisfaction along with their job engagement. Besides, every civil servant receives fairly equal treatment and distributive justice from their leaders, and lastly, it strongly increases civil servants’ integrity towards the leader so that their job satisfaction increases well.
