Factors Affecting Job Satisfaction in Pakistan

Abstract

Job satisfaction has different interpretations according to various definitions and represents one of the most complex areas for organizations to manage their employees. The subjective nature of job satisfaction and the diverse needs of every employee make it difficult to lock in definite factors that affect job satisfaction. This study aims to explore the effect of Organizational Justice, Leadership behaviour, and Perceived Organizational Support on job satisfaction in Pakistan’s job market. A sample of 173 professionals from different organizations was selected for this study. The results show that perceived stress and organizational justice do not have a significant relationship with job satisfaction. In contrast, leadership behaviour and perceived organizational support have a significant relationship with job satisfaction.  The Methodology used for this research is Smart PLS 4.0 software through which we have evaluated the mediation effect in hypothesis testing. We have also used SPSS for statistics analysis.
