Relationship between training and development, pay and benefits, transformational leadership and workplace environment with job satisfaction
description Employee attitudes are very significant to management and organizations since they determine the behaviour of employees in an organization. It is believed that employees who are satisfied are usually more productive than employees who are dissatisfied towards their job. Satisfied employees are the creator of a pleasant atmosphere within organization. Therefore, job satisfaction has been the topic of many studies. The purpose of this study is to examine whether all factors related to the employees’ perceptions give impact towards job satisfaction in public sector in Malaysia. Based on the analysis it was found that transformational leadership and workplace environment have significant contribution to compliance with job satisfaction. Hierarchically, these two factors are found to be among the strongest predictor variables to compliance with job satisfaction in public sectors. Recommendations and implications for future research and practice were also discussed.
