A study on factors affecting job satisfaction in the IT industry

Abstract

Although there are several definitions of job satisfaction or employee satisfaction, we may generally define them as a person's level of contentment with their job. Because they leave the company less frequently and stay longer, content employees help the business grow. Additionally, a positive work atmosphere attracts talent and boosts productivity by encouraging job satisfaction. The information technology (IT) industry has gained traction on the global scale and has taken centre stage in both our society and the world as a whole. The booming Indian economy has contributed to the ability of the IT industry to remain competitive in the international market. This study aimed to evaluate the degree of job satisfaction among IT professionals and identify the factors affecting that satisfaction. To highlight the factors affecting positive job satisfaction among IT industry employees, we included variables such as rewards and recognition, working conditions, fairness, job security, relationships with coworkers and employee satisfaction. After the data were cleaned, 100 responses were collected. The data were analysed using SPSS statistical software, and the findings showed that the job satisfaction of IT employees is strongly correlated with a number of factors connected to the workplace.
