DETERMINATION OF EMPLOYEE SATISFACTION IN UZBEK ORGANIZATIONS

Abstract

Employee satisfaction is a critical factor influencing productivity, retention, and organizational success. This study investigates the key determinants of employee satisfaction in various Uzbek organizations, including work environment, leadership, teamwork, career development, and compensation. A quantitative research approach was employed, collecting data from 120 employees across public and private organizations using structured questionnaires. Descriptive statistics, correlation, and regression analyses were applied to identify patterns and relationships between satisfaction factors. The results reveal that work environment, teamwork, and leadership are the strongest contributors to employee satisfaction, whereas salary and career development opportunities remain areas of concern. The findings emphasize that non-financial motivators, such as recognition and supportive leadership, significantly influence satisfaction and retention in the Uzbek context. Based on these insights, the study recommends enhancing leadership practices, establishing transparent career paths, improving compensation policies, and fostering a positive organizational culture to retain talented employees and enhance organizational performance. These findings provide practical guidance for managers and policymakers seeking to improve talent management strategies in Uzbekistan.
