Most respondents expressed agreement with statements related to employee performance, as well as with factors affecting job satisfaction, such as job design and variety, job security, work environment, and compensation and benefits. The study found a significant correlation between job satisfaction and employee performance. Additionally, many respondents suggested that training and seminars would be beneficial in improving both job satisfaction and employee performance.
