The turnover rate of employees is an element that affects most organizations; most

employees may decide to change their working positions or shift to other organizations due to

dissatisfaction. In other words, employees’ turnover rate is considerable with their attitudes and

behaviors which must be at the center of each organizational management.

normality of item measurement in analyzing some elements of job satisfaction. The results of the

study are much relevant to some organizations as they provide them with precise and valid factors

which are known to influencing the job satisfaction among employees. The organizations will be

able to use these factors to improve them to enhance the employees’ job satisfaction and hence

increasing employees’ motivation.
