The main research objective is the impact of wage disparities on the employment sustainability and the role of women in vocational management in Rania city. This research depends on the quantitative and descriptive analysis method. For this aim, the researchers created a questionnaire, consisting of 30 questions, and a convenient sample of 220 questionnaires was distributed to employees in supermarkets and vocational shops where female employees work. Many supermarkets in Rania city were chosen for the data collection. The response rate was only (197) from which only (186) questionnaires were selected as suitable for analysis. After returning and analyzing them through the statistical analysis program (SPSS v27), the results show that the salary difference has a significant impact on workplace satisfaction, and there is a strong positive correlation between them. This shows that the employees who feel that their salaries are fair are more satisfied in their workplace. On the contrary, when there is unfair salary dissatisfaction increases and this leads to low performance and efficiency in jobs. On the other side, the research suggested that the supermarkets and vocational shop managers should treat the salary differences by implementing transparency in the salary and constant scrutiny of it to reassure them of a fair salary and non-differences between males and females.
