Introduction

In today’s competitive environment, job satisfaction is considered as the most vital component as it is related to various workplace and psychological issues. Job Satisfaction is the degree to which an employee likes his job (Spector, 1985). An Organization can be defined as a structured system where people work together to achieve certain goals. An organization needs effective people to achieve those common goals. For this purpose, organizations are focusing on human resource as it plays a vital role in the organizational success (Akram et al 2017).
