A review of contributing factors on job satisfaction and employees' turnover literature: Mini-review approach

Abstract

Various strategies to build employee satisfaction continue to be developed both by practitioners in Human Resources (HR) and researchers. Many studies have been conducted to find out how employees achieve job satisfaction in the workplace to control turnover. This study aims to provide an overview of other factors that can drive individual job satisfaction. This study analyses explicitly the relationship between job satisfaction through elements that can significantly affect employee job satisfaction, such as time management, tenure, salary, reward and motivation. This study used a qualitative method by reviewing 33 journals from previous researchers. This study shows a correlation between time management variables, years of service, salary, and reward on job satisfaction either directly or through motivation. This study is expected to provide a new theory in predicting employee job satisfaction to control high turnover in the company.
