Malaysia is progressing significantly toward a developed nation by 2020 but we are still struggling with issues and questions on how we are going to get there.
Some of the efforts to achieve the vision depend on our readiness to be part of the workforce. In order to achieve the vision, our workforce should be provided by an organization with a good working environment. The literature review on the matter shows that employee satisfaction depends on favourable work environment. Bhola (2015) found that work environment has direct bearing on job satisfactions of the employees. According to Abdul Raziq and Raheela Maulabakhsh (2015), job satisfaction is an orientation of emotions that employees possess towards role they are performing at the work place. Job satisfaction is the essential component for employee motivation and encouragement towards better performance. Thus, job satisfaction is important and beneficial to employees and the organizations to produce more good results as well as for achieving the mission and vision of their businesses. Other than that, the efficiency of the human resource management in maintaining good work environment or culture affects not only the performance of employees and organisation but also
affects the growth and development of the entire economy.
