Purpose This study aims to identify and analyze the key determinants of job satisfaction among construction industry employees, with a specific focus on organizational support, workplace and health benefits. Design/methodology/approach A questionnaire-based quantitative approach was adopted using a validated 20-item Likert-scale questionnaire administered to 115 employees. Exploratory factor analysis and multiple regression analysis were performed using SPSS. Findings Organizational support emerged as the most significant predictor (β = 0.772, p 0.01), followed by workplace safety (β = 0.301) and health benefits (β = 0.219). Mental health support and stress management were identified as areas of concern. Research limitations/implications Construction firms should strengthen recognition systems, enhance safety culture and provide competitive health benefits to improve employee satisfaction and retention. Practical implications Construction firms should strengthen recognition systems, enhance safety culture and provide competitive health benefits to improve employee satisfaction and retention. Social implications Enhancing job satisfaction leads to improved employee well-being, reduced stress and a more sustainable workforce development.
