Abstract

Satisfaction of employees in an organization is critical in determining their motivation level, productivity and efficiency which further influences the profit of a firm. In the contemporary scenario where the IT Sector Employees’ attrition rate is at an all-time high, testing the relevance of the widely considered motivation theory, i.e., Maslow’s Need Hierarchy Theory seemed valuable. This paper contributes to the field of Human Resources and investigates the significance of various needs in determining the total satisfaction of employees in the Indian IT Sector. The respondents were 80 employees from various Indian IT Sector companies and the result was analyzed using Smart PLS Software. There was a statistically significant positive relationship between employee satisfaction and all criteria except social needs in India's IT sector.
