Many studies find that job satisfaction is a well-known construct that is widely used to study work-related well-being; and contributes significantly to employees’ overall quality of life. The current paper examines job satisfaction among Malaysian employees using the Job Satisfaction Survey (JSS). In particular, the present study compares the job satisfaction levels of Malaysian samples with those of a previously reported study involving samples from Singapore and the United States. Results of one sample t-test reveals statistically significant differences in pay, promotion, fringe benefits, contingent rewards, supervision, co-workers and nature of work subscales. No cultural influence exists between Malaysian and Singapore samples in terms of perceived operating conditions satisfaction. Similarly, no statistically significant difference exists between Malaysian and the United States perception towards the communication facet. Furthermore, the results of factor analysis support the previous study, suggesting possible cultural differences in the understanding of, and consensus regarding, the structure of the job satisfaction scale.

These countries were selected because of their potential development in impact sourcing. This study uses qualitative research approach with two selected case studies of GBS firms with impact sourcing operations. The selected GBS firms involved in impact sourcing of their finance and accounting processes to marginalized communities in Malaysia and Sri Lanka. Findings show that the impact sourcing is used as a strategy to overcome talent shortage issues faced by GBS firms. At the same time, it contributes to income generation with world class work experiences among the marginalized communities. Practically, this opportunities are better gained with high firm’s readiness towards working closely with the marginalized communities in mitigating the talent shortage issues. Theoretically, this study provides empirical evidence of global talent management in the context of impact sourcing in GBS firms. It further contributes to the literatures in impact sourcing of accounting activities in Malaysia and Sri Lanka that reach out young talents from marginalized communities at the universities and those in the rural areas.
