Abstract

The work environment plays a vital role in shaping employee satisfaction, particularly in the manufacturing sector where workforce stability and performance are closely linked. This study investigates the relationship between various components of the work environment such as job security, relationships with superiors and colleagues—and overall employee satisfaction. Primary data was collected from 215 respondents in a manufacturing organization using a structured questionnaire. Statistical analyses including correlation, ANOVA, and multiple regression were applied. The results indicate that job security and peer relationships significantly influence employee satisfaction, while managerial relationships, though positive, have a lesser effect. Additionally, satisfaction related to recognition varies across salary groups. These findings highlight the importance of fostering a supportive, secure, and inclusive work environment to enhance employee morale and organizational success.
