Abstract

This research examined the influence of the work environment on employees' job satisfaction in the banking sector in the Gulf Corporation Council (GCC) region. As the banking industry in the region confronts many challenges, it is essential that banks retain their talent. Hence, this research explored essential elements that could influence job satisfaction and impact employee decisions to stay or leave. A quantitative research design was used on a sample of 250 employees from four GCC countries to explain the relationship between three categories of work environment, human, technical, organisational and job satisfaction. Results indicated that employee work environment has significant positive relationships on job satisfaction level in terms of participation, communication, technology, trust, and management leadership. Office layout and work space were not related to job satisfaction. The study recommended actions for management to improve banks' work environment, which in turn will increase employee satisfaction and reduce turnover in the sector.
揭示工作环境与工作满意度之间的关系
本研究考察了海湾公司委员会(GCC)地区银行业工作环境对员工工作满意度的影响。由于该地区银行业面临诸多挑战,银行留住人才至关重要。因此,本研究探讨了可能影响工作满意度和影响员工决定留下或离开的基本因素。对来自四个海湾合作委员会国家的250名员工进行了定量研究设计,以解释工作环境、人力、技术、组织和工作满意度三类之间的关系。结果发现,员工工作环境在参与、沟通、技术、信任和管理领导方面对工作满意度有显著的正向影响。办公室布局和工作空间与工作满意度无关。该研究建议管理层采取措施改善银行的工作环境,从而提高员工满意度并减少该行业的人员流动率。
