This is because a person with high level of job satisfaction holds a positive attitude towards the job, while a person who is dissatisfied with his or her job holds negative attitude about the job (Robins, 2003). This paper focuses on determinants of job satisfaction in Bangladesh perspective. It offers key contributions in the human resource management literature of Bangladesh by suggesting the key considering factors to attain job satisfaction of the Bangladeshi employees. It has significant managerial implications. In order to attain the job satisfaction of the employees, the human resource managers of Bangladesh should concentrate more on the nature of the job, promotion, payment and supervision more than colleagues and the environment of the office / job. To be more specific, this paper emphasize the most on the Job itself as the key determining factor for attaining job satisfaction. By performing the job in real life situation an employee experience day-to-day pressures and meet variety of challenges which makes him/her capable of developing insights that enhances his/her aptitude, ability, skill and knowledge. Therefore, a job itself can be a key source for human resource development. It is undeniable that a job becomes a solid source of learning when it delivers motivation. A task that provides satisfaction can attract and contain employees with it. Organizations should always try to attain job satisfaction of their employees in order to improve their productivity and attain desired profitability by focusing on these determinants of job satisfactions.
