Abstract
This study investigates the interaction effect of information asymmetry and decentralization on the job satisfaction level of sub-unit managers. Responses gathered by means of a questionnaire survey from 42 managers in Singapore were generated and analyzed using regression analysis. The findings indicate the presence of nonmonotonic relationship between information asymmetry and job satisfaction over the range of the degree of decentralization in the organizations. More specifically, the results indicate that a higher level for information asymmetry was associated with a higher level of job satisfaction for managers working under conditions of high decentralization.
