The Preferences and Job Satisfaction Among Saudi Employees: A Guide for Human Resources Managers

Abstract

Purpose –Employees’ willingness to continue working for their firm may be related to their length of service. This is of particular concern in Saudi Arabia where Vision 2030’s objectives include the Saudization (hiring of Saudi Nationals on a quota basis) of the private sector and where women are just beginning to enter the labor market in great numbers despite traditionally having a particularly low labor market participation rate. The research question of this study is: “Who is more satisfied and what are the preferences for long and short-term employees in Saudi Arabia?”.
