Abstract

Readymade garments sector serves as an economic foundation of Bangladesh by generating substantial employment and export revenue. Organizations face ongoing difficulties in preserving their workforce production levels. This study investigates the impact of financial benefits and emotional intelligence on employee productivity in the RMG sector, with job security as a mediating factor. The study focuses on investigating the synergistic effects between these variables to determine performance-enhancing measures for organizations. The research uses questionnaires as part of a quantitative design to gather information from 400 Bangladeshi RMG factory workers. The research team used purposive sampling to gather responses from factory employees holding different positions in the sector. Employee productivity received analysis through SEM which examined how financial rewards as well as emotional intelligence and job security influence job outcomes. The research outcomes confirm that financial rewards and emotional intelligence boost employee productivity because job security acts as an essential link between these variables. Financial benefits complement emotional intelligence to help employees handle workplace stress and work better together as well as drive satisfaction and motivation at work. The results demonstrate job security perception increases the impact of these findings because it plays an essential role in supporting workforce stability while raising productivity. Organizations within the RMG sector should create superior financial compensation plans and train employees in emotional intelligence to maximize their performance levels. Leaders in industry and policymakers should make job security stronger by adopting honest employee communication together with environmentally sustainable employment practices. The implementation of these measures leads to workforce resilience which produces higher productivity and better success for organizations in the fast-paced global competition.
