Abstract

The purpose of this study is to determine the major elements influencing job satisfaction among workers in Guangdong's high-tech enterprises. Nine aspects of information were gathered by a questionnaire survey at a Guangdong-based high-tech business (Y): salary, work environment, team atmosphere, job type, advancement chances, corporate culture, interpersonal interactions, management, and organizational care. 100 valid replies were received, yielding a 100% response rate for the poll. Organizational culture, intrinsic drive, and self-actualization are the three key elements that determine job satisfaction, according to factor analysis using SPSS software. Testing the hypothesis revealed that these elements greatly improve job satisfaction. Age and gender were two more demographic factors that had an impact. The results aid businesses in creating HR strategies, enhancing workplaces, and increasing management efficacy. However, because the study only focused on one Guangdong’s company, its generalizability was constrained. To validate these parameters across various businesses and geographies, further research ought to enlarge the sample.
