Abstract
This study investigated the impact of the working environment on employees’ job satisfaction
in the Judicial Service, Accra. Specifically, the study analyzed the direct and indirect
relationship among work environment, variables of safety, relationship with co-workers and
motivation on job satisfaction. Methodologically, the study was a cross sectional quantitative
survey that involved the use of self-administered structured questionnaire that gathered data
from respondents of judicial service, Accra. Using a sample size of 150, convenience sampling
technique was used to sample the respondents. The statistics and data (STATA) version 20.0
software was used to analyze the responses.
Results of the findings revealed that employees viewed safety measure as the main determinant
that affects their job satisfaction. Then again, the construct of motivation revealed that,
employees are not satisfied with salaries been paid to them hence a direct relationship between
motivation and job satisfaction. Findings also confirmed a significant relationship between
working environment and employee job satisfaction. While the methodological limitation of
the study is noted, the study offered useful theoretical and managerial contributions. The study
recommended that management should consider the need to adjust wages and salaries of
employees in their quest to ensuring a positive working environment that will result in
employee job satisfaction.
