The job satisfaction level was considered as low, moderate and high, respectively. Also, their productivity was computed as moderate. Furthermore, positive association among between job satisfaction and work productivity indices was considered as significant with t-value as 2.624. The statistical analysis using SPSS software represents that productivity was significantly correlated with dimension of job satisfaction such as work autonomy and fringe benefits.
