Abstract
This study was a research investigation into the nature of connections between job satisfaction and employee job performance and how this connection affects the general organization’s performance of the workplace. Job satisfaction has been one of the most neglected research topics over the years but yet has maintained a vital role in influencing organizational performance across the globe. The study adopted thematic analysis through the systematic and extant review of literature of over 80 well researched papers published in reputable journals across the globe. The study discovered that Employee performance and the success of the organization as a whole are significantly influenced by job satisfaction. Employee engagement, productivity, and retention can be greatly impacted by comprehending the various forms of job satisfaction, determining the variables that affect satisfaction levels, and putting policies in place to measure and enhance job satisfaction. The study concludes that placing a high priority on job satisfaction and funding employee performance training, organizations may establish a productive workplace that encourages dedication, motivation, and well-being. This study also concludes that compensation and benefits, training, working conditions, and the nature of the job are the factors influencing employee performance and job satisfaction. Employee performance and salary and benefits were shown to be positively correlated or have positive connections with organizational performance, according to the correlation study. Additionally, employee performance and training showed a favorable link or positive connections, although working circumstances showed a weakly positive relationship. There was a somewhat favorable correlation between employee performance and the type of the work.
All of the predictor variables, such as pay and benefits, training, and working conditions, have a positive effect on employee performance, according to the regression analysis’s result reviewed. Additionally, it found that job satisfaction significantly improves employee performance. The primary element impacting employee performance is the nature of the job.
