| Summary: | The intensifying economic competition makes every organization strive
to increase its competitiveness in order to sustain in business
environment. The success of an organization depends on the job
satisfaction of the employees in the organization. However, job
dissatisfaction occurs due to the salary received. Therefore,
compensation is considered as something that can make employees
satisfied with their jobs. This study aims to identify the level of
compensation as well as the level of job satisfaction among
manufacturing employees. In addition, this study also aims to identify
the relationship between compensation and job satisfaction.
Quantitative methods using questionnaires and Maslow’s Hierarchy of
Needs were used in this study. The questionnaire is divided into three
sections; section A (demographic), section B (compensation), and
section C (job satisfaction). Primary data was distributed to a total
sample of 375 employees in manufacturing companies in Johor Bahru.
SPSS software was used to analyze the respondents' data. The results
showed that the compensation that manufacturing employees received
satisfied them. This study supports the hypothesis that there is a
positive relationship between compensation and job satisfaction among
manufacturing employees. This study will benefit employees; if salaries
are paid appropriately, employees will continue to meet the next level of
need. This study can also help superiors to improve compensation
strategies in accordance with employee satisfaction. In addition, the
government should plan a compensation package as employees play an
important role in driving the Malaysian economy |
