A sample of 100 employees was collected from each sector then results were analyzed through Confirmatory Factor Analysis and Structural Equation Modeling.

Career development, compensation and promotions are insignificant key divers of job satisfaction for job performance. While, working conditions, compensations and co-workers are insignificant key divers of job satisfaction for employees’ retention. Result’s implication is different for banks’ managers and educational institutions’ managers based on significance of coefficients however human resource policies vary in different business settings. Indeed, more the job satisfaction better chance of good employees’ performance while it reduces the intention to switch and keep the human talent retained.
