Abstract

This Study has gathered Primary data by administering Minnesota Satisfaction Questionnaire among 1200 employees of select Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) in India to measure the influence of Job Satisfaction on their performances. The Statistical Techniques and Tools such as Factor Analysis, Multiple Linear Regression, Co-efficient of Variation, F-test and Standard Deviation were used for the purpose of analysis. The study could draw a few significant inferences in respect of the relationship between Job Satisfaction levels and the 22 Job Satisfaction causal factors. The factors such as Sex, Stability of Job, Income, Experience, Designation and Responsibilities are identified as having very close relationship with satisfaction levels. Among 6 attitudinal variables, variables like Ability, Initiative and Job Change were identified as good predictors of Job Satisfaction. The three Organizational Climate Variables showed a positive relationship with job satisfaction levels
