From Culture to Output: Unraveling the Impact of Job Satisfaction on Performance in Indian Textile Firms

This study examines how organizational culture and job satisfaction collectively influence employee performance in India’s textile industry. Drawing on data from 167 employees selected through stratified random sampling, the research employs a descriptive design supported by correlation analysis, ANOVA, and regression techniques. The findings reveal a strong positive relationship between organizational culture and employee performance, with job satisfaction emerging as a crucial mediating factor. Notably, gender and age significantly influenced performance outcomes, while educational qualifications had minimal impact. These insights highlight the strategic importance of nurturing a collaborative, inclusive culture and fostering job satisfaction to optimize workforce performance in labor-intensive sectors like textiles. The study contributes to the growing discourse on human-centric management practices in emerging economies and offers practical implications for industry leaders and policymakers.
