FACTORS AFFECTING EMPLOYEE JOB SATISFACTION OF THIRI SWE & NAY HTUT KHAUNG TEXTILE FACTORIES IN WUNDWIN Htun Htun Win This study investigates the factors affecting employee job satisfaction at Thiri Swe and Nay Htut Khaung Textile Factories in Wundwin, Myanmar. Using Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs (Maslow, 1943) as the theoretical framework, the research examines how five key job facets (compensation and benefits, workplace safety, interpersonal relationships, career development opportunities, and recognition) influence overall employee job satisfaction among factory workers. A quantitative, cross-sectional study design was employed, with data collected from 100 full-time employees using a stratified random sampling approach. The survey instrument, adapted from validated scales, was administered via a 7-point Likert questionnaire collected data were analyzed using SPSS, with descriptive statistics, reliability analysis (Cronbach’s alpha),correlation analysis, and multiple regression analysis. Results indicate that employees are generally very satisfied and all five determinants showed strong positive correlations with employee job satisfaction. Career development opportunities and recognition being the most influential, career development opportunity is the most significant predictors of employee job satisfaction, while compensation and benefits, recognition, and interpersonal relationships also contribute positively. The findings suggest that while compensation and interpersonal relationship are foundational, higher-order needs such as career development and recognition are the primary drivers of employee job satisfaction in this context. The study provides actionable recommendations for management to enhance employee job satisfaction and organizational performance in Myanmar’s textile sector. 2025-06-02 https://meral.edu.mm/records/12190
