Human resources are an important source of growth for organizations. To ensure optimal utilization of human resources, it is vital to align the abilities, knowledge, and skills of the employees with appropriate roles within the organization. This study investigates the effects of three elements-employee empowerment, employee training, and teamwork-on job satisfaction in the agricultural manufacturing industry of the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Province, Pakistan. The study was conducted in a quantitative research paradigm and was designed using a cross-sectional survey, through structured questionnaires. SPSS and structural equation modeling were used to analyze data from 315 employees. The results show that employee empowerment has a significant positive impact on job satisfaction. The impact of employee training on job satisfaction was also found to be positive and significant. Additionally, the study found that teamwork had a significant positive influence on job satisfaction. These findings could provide beneficial suggestions for management in the agricultural manufacturing industry, with emphasis on employee empowerment, training, and teamwork to improve employee job satisfaction.
