Abstract

In recent years, employee turnover has become a challenge that every human resource department is concerned with. The purpose of this paper is to explore the level of job satisfaction in the coal mining industry. This paper also determines the relationship between company employees and five work-related factors that are considered influential in minimizing employee turnover. A total of 66 questionnaires out of a 100 were usable for this study. The conclusion was that work-life balance, growth opportunities and managerial support play a significant role in job satisfaction. Salary and company culture did not contribute significantly towards job satisfaction. This study contributes to companies success by investigating components that contribute to job satisfaction among employees.
