Abstract

This research endeavors to unravel the intricate relationships among educational, health, and economic incentives within the Power Loom Industry and their consequential impacts on job satisfaction. Utilizing a quantitative approach, the study employs regression analysis to interpret key coefficients and statistical parameters. The results indicate that economic incentives, educational incentives, and health-related incentives significantly influence job satisfaction. Notably, educational incentives emerges as the most impactful factor followed by health-related incentives, and economy incentives. These findings underscore the importance of fostering fairness in organizational practices and providing diverse incentives to enhance overall job satisfaction. The study contributes to the literature by providing nuanced insights into the interplay between incentives and job satisfaction within the context of the Power Loom Industry. As industries seek to optimize workforce well-being, this research serves as a valuable guide for decision-makers aiming to implement targeted policies and practices that cater to the multifaceted needs of employees.
