Abstract

The research aims to recognize the antecedents that enhance the job satisfaction of employees working in Indian public & private industries. The main factors influencing employee satisfaction were identified as salary, relationship with a co-worker, relationship with supervisor, training & development, working conditions. The influence of all these factors on job satisfaction is evaluated. Moderating effect of appreciation and motivation on job satisfaction is also examined. The workforce of the Indian public & private industry is the target population for the study. Quantitative techniques have been used for examining the relationship among the variables. The findings suggest that there is a positive & significant link between job satisfaction (dependent variable) and the independent variables like salary, relationship with a co-worker, relationship with supervisor, training & development, working conditions.
