This study examines the relationship between job satisfaction (salary, promotion, supervision, co-worker relationships) and employee productivity in Selangor’s manufacturing sector, grounded in Herzberg’s Two-Factor Theory and Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs. A quantitative survey of 108 employees was analyzed using Spearman’s correlation and multiple regression. Results show that only co-worker relationships have a significant positive effect on productivity, while salary, promotion, and supervision are not significant predictors. The findings highlight the importance of interpersonal relations and teamwork for enhancing performance. Organizations should foster collaborative work environments and peer support.
