The main purpose of this work is to determine the impact of environmental factors
on job satisfaction. Due to the dynamic nature of the environment, the
automotive trade in Malaysia faces many challenges. One of the challenges is to
allow its employees to adapt to the ever-changing and evolving environment and
achieve success and remain in competition. To improve employee efficiency,
effectiveness, productivity and work commitment, the company must meet the needs
of employees by providing good working conditions.
Job satisfaction means having a good or positive attitude or feeling about the job.
It is defined as the amount of the overall positive impact that individuals have on their
work. Job satisfaction occurs when an employee feels that they are experiencing job
stability, career advancement, and a comfortable life balance. Job satisfaction is an
important approach to work in organizational behaviour and contributes to the wellbeing of employees. People with high job satisfaction experience pleasant or positive
emotions when they think about their duties. Money is not always the main reason
for job satisfaction. The environmental factor is one of the factors that can influence
job satisfaction. The most important evidence pointing to the deteriorating conditions
of the organization is the low level of job satisfaction. Thus, job satisfaction is the key
to creating a healthy organizational environment in the organization.
A work environment is the social features, and physical conditions in which we
perform the job. The working environment can consist of physical conditions such as
the temperature of the workplace or equipment. It is much more difficult to do a good
job in a bad environment than in a good one. A positive work environment is not only
important to our physical, mental, and emotional health, but is also important to the
product or service we produce for the company. The work environment effect on
employee productivity. The importance of the work environment is a determinant of
productivity and helps employees to focus properly on their duties. An unhealthy
work environment makes employees tend to experience mental and physical health
problems, including stress, anxiety, depression, and more negative outcomes. In
summary, a better working environment will lead to greater job satisfaction.
A good, comfortable, and safe work environment is important for job satisfaction.
If the working environment is in poor condition, such as heat and noisy surroundings,
it will make it difficult for workers to get the job done. The work of a mechanic in the
automotive industry is not only about repairing a few cars. Employees have to spend
long hours at the workplace. Mechanics work in often greasy and dirty environments.
Tools and large vehicles can also cause noise in the surroundings. If the working
environment is in poor condition, such as heat and noisy surroundings, it will make
it difficult for workers to get the job done. Aspects of work such as heat, noise and
lighting have been shown to influence several psychological processes both directly
and indirectly. For example, noise can impair cognition in some types of work.
Research will be conducted on Industrial Automotive in Malaysia which is Honda
Malaysia Sdn. Bhd to determine the effect of environmental factor on job satisfaction.
