Abstract

This study examines the level of job satisfaction and factors associated with job satisfaction among factory employees at PT Sandabi Indah Lestari, North Bengkulu Regency, Indonesia. Data were collected from a census of 121 factory employees between May and September 2024 using structured questionnaires. Descriptive statistics were used to summarize satisfaction levels, and binary logistic regression assessed the associations of psychological, social, physical, and financial factors, work motivation, career development, and organizational culture with job satisfaction status. Overall, 90 employees (74.38%) were classified as satisfied and 31 (25.62%) as dissatisfied. Organizational culture showed a positive and statistically significant association with satisfaction status (B = 0.658; OR = 1.932; p < 0.001), whereas the other six factors were not individually significant at the 5% level. The financial factor had the lowest descriptive mean score (3.83). These findings suggest that organizational culture warrants managerial attention alongside an evaluation of financial aspects. The cross-sectional design and the need to verify that the outcome and predictors are operationally distinct limit causal interpretation.
