Abstract

Job satisfaction is predicted to influence employee’s decision, behavior and productivity in the organisation.  Previous studies had shown a significant relationship between job satisfaction and employees’ satisfaction.  The purpose of this study is to investigate the impact of Personality Big Five dimensions, self-efficacy and autonomy on job satisfaction.  The review will explain the influence of self-efficacy between Personality Big Five and job satisfaction and the link of autonomy between self-efficacy and job satisfaction mostly on employees’ satisfaction.
