The findings of the study suggest that the taken factors have explained the job satisfaction and the policy framers and managers have to think about inclusion of the factors that affect satisfaction to enhance their business. The study suggests that working condition, organizational policy and strategies, promotion, job stress and compensation package are key factors of job satisfaction.
