The paper identifies factors that cause employee job satisfaction, including pay, recognition, tasks, and communication, and how they influence employee productivity and organisational outcomes. It was found that job satisfaction has positive relationship with organisational performance. Findings may be used in formulating strategies aimed at increasing employee satisfaction while and raising organisational success. The research has significant implications regarding the relationship between job satisfaction and organisational performance. The practical implications of the study indicate that organisations need to consider factors that influence job satisfaction among employees and implement policies to enhance these factors. Organisations need to regularly monitor and evaluate employee satisfaction and adjust their policies and practices. In further research, other variables, which affect or moderate the job satisfaction and organisational performance relationship may be determined.
