Abstract
Effective functioning of employees is indispensable to the actualisation of the goals and objectives of any organisation employees. It is, however, important that employees are satisfied with their jobs for them to function appropriately. A suitable work environment has been seen as a trigger in enhancing employees' job satisfaction. Realising the importance of employee’s job satisfaction, the government has adopted various mechanisms to improve its employees' job satisfaction, such as training, welfare scheme, prompt payment of salaries, etc. However, studies have shown that Nigeria’s public sector is characterised by low service delivery and poor performance. This study therefore, investigates the various factors of work environment and their implication on job satisfaction. It interrogates the challenges and mechanisms that can enhance job satisfaction with a specific focus on Alimosho Local Government Council of Lagos State, Nigeria. The study utilised both primary and secondary data which were collected using literature search, frequency, percentage, mean and Simple Linear Regression. Findings of the research shows that to a reasonable extent, employees of the Alimosho local government are satisfied with their jobs despite the various shortcomings in the physical and social work environment of the local government council. This research concludes that the dynamics of job satisfaction makes it imperative for constant analysis of an organisation’s work environment. The study therefore recommends that physical and social work environment should be improved upon as well as the need for a restructuring of salaries and adequate recognition and appreciation should be given to outstanding employees.
