The present study has been attempted to understand and explain the job satisfaction, which influenced by utilitarian reasons (e.g., to increase productivity and organizational commitment, lower absenteeism and turnover, and ultimately increase organizational effectiveness) as well as humanitarian interests (i.e., the notion that employees deserve to be treated with respect and have their psychological and physical well-being maximized). The satisfied workers also tend to engage in Organizational Citizenship Behaviour (OCB) i.e., altruistic behaviours that exceed the formal requirements of a job. Dissatisfied workers show an increased propensity for counterproductive behaviours, including withdrawal, burnout, and workplace aggression. The present study emphasized on job satisfaction of private sector bank’s executives in Bangladesh.
