Abstract: This paper investigates how role ambiguity, job interdependence, trust, and horizontal-flexible design at the workplace affect job satisfaction. The study is focused on full-time employees of a manufacturing organisation in India. Results show the relation of these variables with job satisfaction. Path analysis was used to find the relationship between the constructs. Job characteristics like role ambiguity, job interdependence, trust, and horizontal-flexible design predict job satisfaction. Literature on work design and organisation behaviour highlight that attrition among the employees is affected by satisfaction of employees with the working conditions. The findings add to past knowledge on the factors influencing job satisfaction and open avenues for understanding attrition. An implication on HR interventions for the practitioners is discussed.
