Abstract:
The work environment of the employees is one of the most important set of factors that impacts
on job satisfaction of them. Generally, state sector organizations in Sri Lanka pay less attention
to work setup and job satisfaction of their employees. The study examined the effect of job
context on work-related attitudes of the employees who work in selected state sector
organizations in Jaffna District. A self-administrated questionnaire was designed with a five point Likert scale, to obtain the required data from the respondents. A sample of 300 employees
for the study was selected from divisional and district secretariats using a systematic random
sampling technique. The descriptive statistics and regression analysis were used to analyze the
data. The results showed that the work environment significantly effects on job satisfaction of
the employees in district and divisional secretariats. The study reveals that among all
components of the work environment, work aides have a strong impact on job satisfaction of
the employees.
