abstract
This study titled “A Study on the Key Factors Influencing Employee Satisfaction at Rajiv Gandhi Co-operative Hospital, Palakkad” explores the major factors that affect job satisfaction among healthcare employees. The research focuses on key variables such as compensation, leadership support, work environment, welfare measures, recognition, and career development. Using a descriptive research design, data were collected from 50 employees through structured questionnaires. The findings reveal that while most employees are satisfied with teamwork, communication, and workplace safety, areas like workload management, recognition, and career growth need improvement. The study concludes that fair compensation, supportive leadership, welfare initiatives, and professional development opportunities significantly enhance employee motivation and performance. By addressing these factors, the hospital can strengthen employee engagement, improve patient care, and achieve sustainable organizational growth.
