Organizational factors that influence job satisfaction in a company from automotive industry

Abstract

The aim of this paper is to present the most important organizational factors that influence job satisfaction in many companies from automotive industry. Therefore, we have firstly analyzed several theoretical aspects in the specialty literature regarding the factors that influence employee satisfaction. Secondly, we have developed a research based on questionnaire in a branch plant of an international organization in automotive industry. There are many factors that place the automotive industry ahead of other areas of activity in terms of maintaining high work satisfaction among employees. We have found which of these factors have a great impact on job satisfaction in the studied branch plant: the lunch vouchers received by employees, the microclimate at work (light, silence, lack of emissions etc.), the relationship with hierarchical boss, the work schedule (duration and time interval), the organization’s support in solving personal problems, the clarity of the received tasks and others.
