Affirmative action represents a major goal for South African organisations since the process of
democratisation in 1994. Evaluating the success of affirmative action programmes is therefore
considered a priority. The research objective was to investigate the association between
affirmative action effectiveness and the job satisfaction of affirmative action beneficiaries.
A literature survey concerning affirmative action, affirmative action success, and job satisfaction
was done.
A structured interview, gauging the congruency of organisations' affirmative action efforts with
affirmative action effectiveness theory, and a job satisfaction questionnaire, measuring the job
satisfaction experienced by affirmative action beneficiaries, were utilised. The study was
conducted among 121 affirmative action beneficiaries employed by five organisations.
')( The result of the empirical study proved that a significant direct relationship exists between the
level of effectiveness of the target organisations' affirmative action endeavours and the level of
job satisfaction experienced by their affirmative action beneficiaries. / Economics and Management Sciences / M.Com. (Industrial Psychology)
