Impact of Corporate Governance on Job Satisfaction of employees in Uganda

Empirical research in corporate governance have got much attention due to deficiencies in organizations. This research study has tried to explore the predictive relationship between corporate governance and employee job satisfaction, and dimensions of corporate governance (i.e., internal control, corporate structure and code of governance) and employee job satisfaction. The correlational research design was utilized to investigate the problem with a convenient sample of 196 respondents. Pearson Product-Moment correlation test, Standard regression, and hierarchical regression tests were used to test the hypotheses in this study. The result showed that corporate governance significantly and positively predicted employee job satisfaction. The three dimensions of corporate governance (i.e., corporate structure, code of governance and internal control) significantly and positively predicted employee job satisfaction with corporate structure accounting for more variance in employee job satisfaction than the other two dimensions. The implications of the findings with respect to theory have been discussed
