Abstract

Job satisfaction is an important factor for the performance of institutions. Recent studies about this topic have demonstrated that employee satisfaction is critically important for an organization s performance. In this study, the definition of knowledge workers were provided; also the determinants of employee satisfaction were evaluated. For this, we employed the exploratory factor analysis (EFA) method. The data that we used for this study were gathered via a survey questionnaire carried out on knowledge workers. There are 564 records belonging to knowledge workers in the data set used for this study. In the survey, knowledge workers satisfaction was assessed by 34 items. As a result of factor analysis with varimax rotation, the first five factors that are important for knowledge workers satisfaction were determined as management s attitude, pay/reward, colleagues, working conditions, and job security.
