Job satisfaction and dissatisfaction are directly linked to the organizational climate. Dissatisfaction or discontent among employees of an organization reduces commitment towards the job and the organization as a whole. Hence the study of employee satisfaction is very important to the survival and growth among business enterprises. The present study was carried out in an agribusiness enterprise with an objective to understand the degree of job satisfaction of employees. The study was based on primary data collected by using pre-structured schedules, which also include the standardized Minnesota Satisfaction Questionnaire (MSQ). Scaling Techniques and Regression Analysis were used to analyse the data. The analysis reveals that employees were satisfied with the organization. It is also substantiated with the age group of employees and long years of service in the same organization. Other socio economic independent variables, treated with Regression Analysis, have not significantly influenced the level of job satisfaction. The study also identified the role of a high profile Human Resource Department.
