Relationship Between Employee Development Programs and Employee Satisfaction: Differences Between Managers and Non-managers

Abstract

This article describes the potential relationship between employee satisfaction and developmental opportunities they have through their employers, dividing results by managers and non-managers. The researcher created, implemented, and conducted a survey to investigate this relationship through questions pertaining to satisfaction and developmental opportunities with 259 participants. Results of the survey show a positive relationship between developmental opportunities and employee satisfaction, with non-managers showing higher levels of satisfaction compared to managers, while investigating potential impacts education levels have on this relationship. The researcher concluded that there is a potential positive relationship between developmental opportunities and employee satisfaction, building on the current research and recommending further improvements to future studies.
