Impact Of Perceived Pay Satisfaction And Organizational Support On Perceived Career Satisfaction Of Employees Across Paper Manufacturing Industries In Tamil Nadu

Abstract

This study investigates the influence of perceived pay satisfaction and organizational support on employees' perceived career satisfaction within the context of paper manufacturing industries. The paper manufacturing sector represents a significant segment of the industrial landscape, employing a diverse workforce with varying career aspirations and expectations. Improving organisational success and promoting employee well-being requires a thorough understanding of the elements that lead to career satisfaction among employees. Drawing upon established theories of organizational behaviour and human resource management, this research employs a quantitative approach to assess the relationships between perceived pay satisfaction, organizational support, and perceived career satisfaction. Data is collected through surveys administered to employees across multiple paper manufacturing companies, utilizing validated scales to measure the key variables. A survey was administered to a sample of 200 employees selected through the convenient sampling technique. The findings suggest that perceived pay satisfaction significantly impacts employees' perceived career satisfaction, with higher levels of pay satisfaction correlating with greater career satisfaction. Additionally, organizational support emerges as a crucial factor in shaping employees' perceptions of their careers, as individuals who perceive higher levels of support from their organizations tend to report greater career satisfaction.
