Abstract:

Employees got satisfied because of their colleagues, management, or work, all of which had an influence on their jobs. Aside from job satisfaction, employee performance is another factor that any company can examine to obtain the best possible results. It is also a method of assessing employee performance based on how stated and implicit standards, priorities, and objectives are met. Employees must be satisfied with their jobs for the span of their working careers because it is one of the factors that can influence their performance. Researchers evaluated job satisfaction among onsite employees in terms of performance appraisal, leadership, work motivation, and compensation or reward. Also, employee performance in terms of work environment, work-life balance, communication, and gender diversity. They used quantitative research to gain information regarding the job satisfaction and employee performance of the respondents. This revealed that employees of Sodexo Services Philippines, Inc. who are 26–30 years old, male, high school graduates, and have worked for 3–4 years are more likely to be satisfied and do well in their positions. Moreover, there is no significant difference between job satisfaction among onsite employees of Sodexo Services Philippines, Inc. and their demographic profile except for work experience in leadership, work motivation, and compensation or reward. There is a significant relationship, however, between job satisfaction and employee performance among onsite employees of Sodexo Services Philippines, Inc. This proves that when employees are more satisfied with their jobs, their performance also improves.
