1.1 INTRODUCTION TO EMPLOYEE JOB SATISFACTION:

A job plays a vital role in people’s lives, influencing both their lifestyle and social interactions.

Hence, it is essential for organizations to maintain a satisfied workforce. The Private sector

significantly contributes to the nation’s economic growth by not only providing valuable services

but also creating numerous job opportunities. Given the private sector's contributions and the

importance of job satisfaction in enhancing employee performance, this study aims to explore

employee job satisfaction and its relationship with performance levels.

It is widely understood that an organization's productivity and success depend on the efficient

performance of employees, which in turn is influenced by their job satisfaction. Researchers

have identified several aspects of job satisfaction, such as its relative importance and its link to

performance and productivity. Job satisfaction is the positive and negative feelings an employee

has towards their job, or the level of happiness they derive from their work. According to Locke,

job satisfaction is the enjoyable feeling resulting from evaluating one’s job or job experiences.

Previous studies have shown that satisfied employees tend to perform better, contributing more

towards organizational goals. Highly satisfied employees are typically punctual, more
productive, committed, and experience greater overall life satisfaction. To enhance job

satisfaction and improve performance, organizations should offer opportunities for advancement,

such as competitive pay scales, employee participation in policy-making, and efforts to increase

organizational commitment. Factors like safety, good relationships with supervisors and

colleagues, job security, recognition, and opportunities for advancement are crucial for employee

satisfaction. Additionally, benefits like pension plans, profit-sharing, and job security are

strongly correlated with job satisfaction. Many studies have also emphasized the importance of

professional development opportunities as a key determinant of job satisfaction.

Job satisfaction is a complex concept, comprising various emotions and conditions. As the work

environment becomes more competitive, understanding the relationship between job satisfaction

and employee performance is increasingly important. This study focuses on three key

professions—doctors, bankers, and university teachers in Peshawar—to assess their satisfaction

and performance levels. The health sector, which is critical for national growth, faces several

challenges in Pakistan, with medical professionals often dissatisfied due to poor working

conditions, inadequate salary packages, and heavy workloads.

Similarly, the banking sector, integral to financial growth, faces challenges due to the entry of

private banks in a competitive and globalized market. Banking employees, under constant

pressure to meet demands, find job satisfaction a crucial factor in motivating them toward high

performance. University teachers, who are essential to the educational system, also experience

job dissatisfaction due to political, economic, and educational uncertainties in Pakistan.

Numerous studies confirm that higher job satisfaction leads to better performance. Therefore,

managers and human resources departments must implement strategies to create a conducive
working environment that boosts job satisfaction, ultimately enhancing performance and

productivity. Employee satisfaction, in human resource terms, means employees are content with

their work, management, and work environment. Satisfied employees are more likely to stay in

their positions, while dissatisfied ones are more likely to leave, which incurs high costs for

organizations. Therefore, maintaining high levels of employee satisfaction is crucial for reducing

turnover and ensuring organizational success.

1.2 MEANING:

Job satisfaction is the degree of fulfillment and positive feelings an employee has toward their

job, influenced by factors like fair pay, a conducive work environment, healthy relationships

with coworkers and supervisors, work-life balance, and opportunities for career growth. When

employees' needs and expectations are fulfilled, they feel appreciated and driven, often resulting

in improved performance, greater organizational commitment, and reduced turnover. Ultimately,

job satisfaction is crucial for boosting both individual well-being and overall organizational

productivity.

1.3 DEFINITIONS:

According to Locke (1976), who describes job satisfaction as "a pleasurable or positive

emotional state resulting from the appraisal of one’s job or job experiences."

According to Spector (1997), who states that job satisfaction is "the extent to which people like

(satisfaction) or dislike (dissatisfaction) their jobs."

It is multifaceted and crucial for both employees and organizations. Here are some key reasons

why job satisfaction is vital:

1. Increased Productivity: Satisfied employees are more motivated, engaged, and

committed to their tasks, leading to higher levels of productivity and efficiency in the

workplace.

2. Employee Retention: High job satisfaction reduces employee turnover, as content

employees are less likely to seek opportunities elsewhere. This helps organizations save

on recruitment and training costs.

3. Improved Organizational Commitment: When employees are satisfied, they develop a

stronger attachment and loyalty to the organization, which leads to greater organizational

commitment and a positive work culture.

4. Better Workplace Relationships: Job satisfaction fosters positive relationships among

colleagues and supervisors, improving teamwork, collaboration, and overall morale in the

workplace.

5. Reduced Absenteeism: Satisfied employees are more likely to show up to work

regularly, as they feel motivated and valued in their roles, leading to reduced absenteeism

rates.

6. Higher Quality of Work: Employees who are satisfied with their jobs are more likely to

take pride in their work, resulting in higher-quality output and attention to detail.
7. Enhanced Well-being: Job satisfaction contributes to overall employee well-being,

reducing stress and improving mental health, which leads to a healthier and happier

workforce.

8. Attracting Talent: Organizations known for high employee satisfaction are more

attractive to potential candidates, helping them recruit top talent.

1.6 SCOPE OF THE STUDY

The study aims to understand employee satisfaction at Aamaxx Jobs, covering various

factors such as working schedules, remuneration, overtime allowances, work freedom, job

positions, and more. The scope of the study is to assess employee satisfaction. The research

is conducted at Aamaxx Jobs, involving 50 employees, and data is collected through a

questionnaire.

The foundation of employee satisfaction lies in respecting workers and the work they

perform. It is also essential to provide employees with easy access to upper management to

discuss any issues, which should be maintained and carefully monitored. The study was

conducted to evaluate employee satisfaction at Aamaxx Jobs. Employees are the backbone

of any organization, and it is crucial for the organization to prioritize their motivation and

satisfaction to enhance productivity and contribute to the overall success of the company.
1.7NEED OF THE STUDY

Beyond the research literature and studies, job satisfaction is also important in everyday life.

As many studies suggest, employers’ benefit from satisfied employees as they are more

likely to profit from lower staff turnover and higher productivity if their employees

experience a high level of job satisfaction.

)×100

Crosstabs Statistics:

Crosstabs (contingency tables) display multivariate frequency distributions of variables, helping

to identify associations in survey research, business intelligence, engineering, and scientific

studies.
1.9 LIMITATIONS OF THE STUDY
