Background of the Study
Job satisfaction is a critical determinant of workplace productivity, influencing employee motivation, engagement, and overall performance. It encompasses employees’ perceptions of their job roles, work environment, compensation, and career development opportunities (Ogunleye & Alabi, 2023). In the manufacturing industry, where operational efficiency is paramount, job satisfaction directly impacts productivity and organizational success.
The Nigerian Bottling Company in Kebbi State, a key player in the beverage industry, operates in a competitive market where productivity is essential. Ensuring employee satisfaction is crucial for maintaining a motivated workforce capable of meeting production targets and delivering quality products. Factors such as fair compensation, supportive management, and opportunities for professional growth contribute to job satisfaction and, by extension, productivity (Abdul & Nwachukwu, 2024).
