The relationship between job satisfaction and employee performance in the various work sectors of the kingdom of Bahrain

Abstract

The aim of this research paper is to study the impact of job satisfaction on employee performance in the various work sectors of the Kingdom of Bahrain. For that purpose, an online questionnaire was developed as a tool for the study and distributed to a sample of one hundred and twenty-five individuals, randomly selected from governmental, semi- governmental, and private organizations of the Kingdom to conduct the study. Accordingly, the results of this study were analyzed and examined against what was found in the research literature. The nature of the relationship between the two main factors of the study was successfully assessed, which is the relationship between job satisfaction and employee performance. Also, through the analysis of results, different levels of job satisfaction were spotted among the various work sectors of the Kingdom, leading to identify the sectors that possess the most and most minor satisfied employees and the causes behind those results with recommendations for the future opportunities to improve the overall study findings.
