In today’s business world, HR practices are crucial in shaping employee experiences and organizational success. This study focuses on understanding how employees perceive workplace regulations and how it impacts their overall job satisfaction. Job satisfaction is important because it directly influences the effort and concentration employees put into their work. Our findings indicate that factors like compensation and benefits policies, career growth and development opportunities, and health and well-being initiatives have a significant impact on job satisfaction. This study stands out in the field of HR practices literature as it aims to analyse how employee perception of HR practices impacts job satisfaction. The study focuses on employees in public sector companies. To examine the mediating effect of educational qualification on employee perception and job satisfaction, regression, and SOBEL tests were used. The findings reveal that various aspects of HR practices have a positive influence on job satisfaction. These findings emphasize the significance of HR practices in shaping employee perceptions and attitudes, ultimately impacting job satisfaction.

Human Capital is the utmost vital resource on which the Information Technology & Information Technology Enabled Services (IT & ITES) depends. One of the greatest challenges for today’s administrators lies in building a workplace that employees want to persist with and outsiders want to be hired into. Therefore, an employer’s foremost responsibility is retention of its best employees and this can be attained only by keeping the employees satisfied and motivated. Focusing on employee satisfaction can positively impact the organization as it increases employee productivity, performance, quality of work, profits, commitment to the organization and reduces turnover and absenteeism. The present paper is an attempt to study the impact of job satisfaction on the employee retention, which is measured by a structured questionnaire administered to the middle level employees in leading BPO companies in Jaipur. Keywords : Job Satisfaction, Retention, BPO Companies.

Background : Some researchers have argued that job satisfaction has been vaguely defined in the organizational literature. Also, there is a lack of consensus over the meaning of job satisfaction in literature. The aim of this study was to clarify dimensions of job satisfaction's concept based on a systematic review study. Materials and Methods: The present study used a systematic review to clarify job satisfaction's concept. Some databases including Pubmed and Medline were searched, carefully using proper keywords. A total of 38 articles were reviewed, all were published between 1986 and 2009, with the majority being of quantitative nature and design. Data on the following items were extracted: country, setting, subjects, the definition of job satisfaction, theoretical background for measuring job satisfaction and the dimensions of job satisfaction. Results: The results of this study showed that job satisfaction has been born in mind both conceptually and operationally. In both aspects, job satisfaction was assumed to be influenced by personal and organizational dimensions. The main focus was on identifying and controlling different factors to provide job satisfaction for individuals. Yet, individuals' contributions to satisfy themselves were ignored. Conclusions: We explored that job satisfaction is a multi dimensional concept. This contains individual abilities, attitudes, beliefs and value system. To achieve job satisfaction, it is important that the staff have the characteristics of positive feelings and attitudes, commitment, and responsibility.
