Abstract:
The purpose of this study is to explore the link between job satisfaction
and organisational performance and to determine if there is an
empirically provable relationship between these two variables, and
the direction and the intensity of this relationship. Empirical research
was conducted on a research sample of 40 large- and medium-sized
Croatian companies, with 5806 employees surveyed. The results of
this study show the existence of a clear link between employees’
job satisfaction and organisational performance in both directions,
but with pretty weak intensity. Detailed analysis showed that the
connection between job satisfaction and organisational performance
is stronger than the connection between organisational performance
and job satisfaction. It could be stated that job satisfaction determines
organisational performance, rather than organisational performance
determining job satisfaction
