Background of the Study
Job satisfaction is a critical determinant of employee motivation, engagement, and overall organizational success. It reflects how content employees are with their work, including factors such as compensation, work environment, job security, and opportunities for career advancement (Okojie & Nwafor, 2023). In the Nigerian manufacturing sector, job satisfaction plays a pivotal role in ensuring high productivity and minimizing turnover rates. Flour Mills, a major player in the Nigerian manufacturing industry, operates in Kebbi State, where it contributes significantly to local employment and economic growth. However, the level of job satisfaction among its employees remains an under-explored area.
Understanding the drivers of job satisfaction at Flour Mills can help address issues related to employee retention, performance, and overall organizational efficiency. This study will assess the factors influencing job satisfaction among employees of Flour Mills in Kebbi State and how these factors impact their overall work performance and commitment to the organization.
Statement of the Problem
Although Flour Mills has established various policies aimed at enhancing job satisfaction, there is insufficient empirical evidence on the actual levels of satisfaction among its employees, particularly in Kebbi State. Factors such as compensation, career development opportunities, work-life balance, and organizational culture may influence job satisfaction levels. This study seeks to investigate the job satisfaction levels of Flour Mills employees and determine the key factors that contribute to their overall satisfaction or dissatisfaction.
