The Role and Impacts of Employee Satisfaction in Ensuring
Economic Sustainability
Abstract
Ensuring economic sustainability has become one of the strategic priorities for states and organizations in the modern era. In this process, employee satisfaction emerges as a key determinant factor. The level of job satisfaction among employees directly affects their productivity, organizational commitment, innovative activity, and long-term cooperation. In organizations where employee satisfaction is high, staff turnover decreases, work discipline and motivation are strengthened, and as a result, economic resources are utilized more efficiently. Moreover, the establishment of a competitive and stable organizational environment in the labor market stimulates the sustainable development of the national economy. Research shows that employee satisfaction not only enhances organizational performance at the micro level, but also contributes strengthening economic sustainability, maintaining social stability, and improving overall welfare at the macro level. Therefore, managing employee satisfaction should be considered one of the essential directions of economic policy and management strategies.
