Description

<p>This paper focuses on the measures taken to improve job satisfaction over several years at production bases in a developing nation, and analyzes how the factors of job satisfaction affect an employees' intention to continue working. An employee's intention to continue working was reviewed in terms of the intention to continue working in the same company, the intention to keep the same type of job, and the enthusiasm for the current job. The factors of job satisfaction were split into 29 categories based on the indices measured. For the purpose of identifying patterns in high-dimensional information on the factors of job satisfaction contained in questionnaire responses, the information was compressed into low-dimensional spaces based on the principal component analysis. Next, a structural model was formed. The model is composed of a path indicating that a few principal components obtained by the principal component analysis affect job satisfaction, and a path indicating that job satisfaction further affects the intention to continue working. By cross-tabulating the response data, a significant difference in the intention to continue working from year to year was observed. As a result of a year-by-year covariance structure analysis of the influence of job satisfaction factors on the intention to continue working, some factors of job satisfaction were confirmed to significantly affect the intention to continue working every year, whereas other factors were observed to exert a variable influence from year to year.</p>
