The present study examines the determinants of job satisfaction among employees of SJVN Ltd., with a focus on Organizational Environment and Support, and Compensation, Security and Employee Welfare. The primary objective of the study is to analyse the level of job satisfaction and identify the key factors influencing it in a public sector organization context. A quantitative research design was adopted, and primary data were collected from 205 employees using a structured questionnaire based on a five-point Likert scale. Descriptive statistics, including mean, standard deviation, skewness, kurtosis and chi- square test were used to examine employee perceptions, while multiple regression analysis was employed to determine the impact of independent variables on job satisfaction. The findings reveal that employees exhibit a high level of job satisfaction, with positive perceptions across all examined dimensions. Among the predictors, Compensation, Security and Employee Welfare emerged as the most significant factor influencing job satisfaction, followed by Organizational Environment and Support. The regression model demonstrated strong explanatory power, with 75.6% of the variance in job satisfaction explained by the selected variables. The results highlight that both intrinsic and extrinsic factors play a crucial role in shaping employee satisfaction, with greater emphasis on compensation and welfare-related provisions. The study concludes that enhancing compensation structures, job security, and employee welfare programs, along with maintaining a supportive organizational environment, can significantly improve job satisfaction levels. The findings offer valuable insights for policymakers and management in public sector undertakings to design effective HR strategies for employee retention and motivation.
KEYWORDS
The present study examined the determinants of job satisfaction among employees of SJVN Ltd., focusing on Organizational Environment and Support, and Compensation, Security and Employee Welfare. The findings reveal that employees generally exhibit a high level of job satisfaction, supported by positive perceptions across all examined dimensions, including career growth opportunities, workplace environment, and welfare-related practices. The empirical results from multiple regression analysis confirm that both Organizational Environment and Support, and Compensation, Security and Welfare significantly influence employee job satisfaction. Among these, Compensation, Security and Welfare emerged as the most dominant predictor, highlighting the importance of financial rewards, job stability, and employee welfare initiatives in shaping overall satisfaction levels. The study concludes that job satisfaction in SJVN Ltd. is driven by a combination of intrinsic organizational factors and extrinsic reward systems. A supportive work environment along with strong compensation and welfare policies plays a crucial role in enhancing employee satisfaction and organizational commitment. Overall, the organization demonstrates a positive work culture with effective employee-oriented practices, which contribute to maintaining a satisfied and motivated workforce.
