theory of constraints to the business world through the use of a fictional manufacturing plant.

The JCM was originally created as a means to offer different principles that can be implemented at an organization to enrich the workplace for those involved. The JCM is essentially a work questionnaire that uses the information found to create statistical data in order…

REVIEW 2.1 Relationship between Job Satisfaction and Turnover Intention Herzberg’s Two-Factor Theory is a remarkable theory which stated that certain factors in the working environment that cause job satisfaction while a separate set of factors causes dissatisfaction.

Most researchers recognize job satisfaction is composed of various…
