Aspects of job satisfaction in a lumber company

Abstract

Job satisfaction has been given great importance in recent years not only by scholars but also by professionals. Factors that explain job satisfaction are therefore an interesting subject for investigation. As such, some aspects that contribute to job satisfaction were studied by the conclusive-quantitative method in relation to 182 employees from a large lumber company. Regression analysis of the results substantiated the hypotheses on organizational climate, social benefits and remuneration as having a positive and significant relation with job satisfaction. Suggestions for additional studies were also included.
