This document summarizes a research paper that studied the relationship between organizational rules and job satisfaction in the public sector. It hypothesized that rules that are consistently applied, optimally controlling, and more formalized would be associated with higher job satisfaction. The research methods included a survey using an echelon approach with multiple informants and SEM analysis. The findings supported that consistent rule application and optimal rule control increased job satisfaction, while rule formalization's influence was fully mediated by consistency and control. Limitations included a lack of measuring other factors like autonomy. Future research opportunities are discussed.
