English Abstract
Abstract :
The study revealed that Human resource management (HRM) practices had a
significant positive impact on employee satisfaction. It has been found that these
practices help in increasing employees' productivity and satisfaction. The purpose of
this study is to find out how managing human resources practices contributes to
employee satisfaction. This study has considered a mixed research design in which
271 respondents have been considered for the quantitative analysis. Ten managers
have been considered for the qualitative analysis employed in several Saudi oil and
gas industries. The secondary data literature sources have identified that factors
essentially contribute to employee satisfaction, mainly learning and development
programs, career development opportunities, the effectiveness of HRM practices,
rewards and benefits, and work culture and environment. The findings of this study
revealed that the factors that affect employee satisfaction vary depending on the
industry and the organization's size. The quantitative analysis has shown these
variables are strongly correlated with employee satisfaction within the oil and gas
industry. The limitation of this study is that it may narrow its scope and the level of
research that it should have. Thus, there is a chance that may weaken the data
collection implementation.
Furthermore, the study suggested that practical approaches and strategies should be
in place to ensure higher employee satisfaction in line with the identified variables.
This research might include insight into organizations in which following practical
HRM practices could lead to a higher level of employee satisfaction. Therefore, it
would enhance the overall productivity of employees and organizations. It has been
recommended that modern technology-based compensation and performance
appraisals be given to employees to improve their performance and increase their
level of satisfaction.
