Abstract

Job satisfaction remains an important aspect of investigating performance, and its effect on productivity, organisational objectives, and societies as a whole and has been widely studied. This study aimed at investigating organisational environment and the impact of cultural, social, and personal factors of employee job satisfaction and studying the relationship between job satisfaction and performance in organisation while exploring the interrelationships of the antecedent’s groups. The study confirms the dual direction of connection that consists of a cycle of cause-and-effect relationship between job satisfaction and performance and investigates the mediating factors. The study encourages supervisors and managers to reflect on their tacit method of handling workers and exploring ways to employ explicit methods and support work environment that is more conducive and unbiased. The study emphasizes the importance of considering job satisfaction and performance relationship holistically by addressing the cultural, social, and personal problems to improve employee performance.
