A Study on Employee’s Job Satisfaction in Select Audit Firms

Abstract

The study examines the level of job satisfaction among employees working in select audit firms in Bengaluru and identifies the major factors influencing their satisfaction. Using primary data collected from respondents, the study evaluates the role of career growth, financial benefits, recognition and rewards, communication, and work environment in shaping overall job satisfaction. The study is conducted to reveal the satisfied or highly satisfied factors, with the work environment emerging as the most significant determinant, followed by financial benefits and recognition. Regression analysis highlights that formal training has a positive and statistically significant impact on job satisfaction, whereas training for upskilling and confidence enhancement shows no significant effect. The study fills a gap in existing literature by focusing specifically on employees’ perspectives within audit firms and emphasizes the need for structured training, improved communication, and enhanced career development initiatives to strengthen satisfaction and performance.
