Abstract
This research paper focuses on analysing the relationship between compensation and job satisfaction among employees working in IT companies. In today’s competitive environment, organizations are increasingly focusing on employee satisfaction to improve performance and retention. Compensation, both financial and non-financial, plays a key role in influencing employee motivation and satisfaction.
The study is based on primary data collected from 30 respondents using a structured questionnaire. Secondary data has been collected from research papers, books, and websites. The analysis shows that compensation has a significant impact on job satisfaction. However, other factors such as work environment, recognition, and career growth also influence employee satisfaction. The study concludes that a balanced approach of financial and non-financial rewards is necessary to improve job satisfaction
