Job Satisfaction and Some Selected Determinants: An Empirical Study

Abstract

This study is conducted to increase our understanding of role played by 'nature of job’, 'pay and promotion', 'colleague' and 'supervisor' in determining the level of job satisfaction in organizations operating in Bangladesh. 355 valid responses were collected from 27 organizations on nine questions. More than 60% of the respondents were found satisfied with their job. Employees who reported themselves as 'satisfied' recorded higher level of agreement for all the independent variables than those who reported themselves as 'dissatisfied'. Multiple Regression .analysis showed that 'interesting job', 'challenging job' and 'scope to increase personal competence' from 'nature of job' viewpoint; and 'quality of supervision, respect and recognition from supervisor' from 'supervisor' viewpoint were statistically highly significant for job satisfaction of employees in Bangladesh.
