Abstract
For many years research specialist has been looking for a reliable connection between job
satisfaction and performance. Whether there is any relation between the two whatsoever, it is
tough to measure in light of the fact there so many different components that become possibly
the most critical factor when you think of these two variables. Discussed systematically in this
paper are several ways that employers approach the idea of involving employees in everyday
processes in the organization to promote higher levels of performance. Similarly, employees that

factors that impact job satisfaction and performance can be affected by various components in
society such as dealing with more technical and virtual issues with jobs. The employees'

insubordination thus playing a part in the performance of the employees.
