| description | The purpose of this research is to examine job satisfaction among auditors and the relationships between internal as well as external factors and job satisfaction. The research also examines internal and external factors of motivation; dimensions for internal factors include achievements, advancement, work itself, recognition and growth while for external, the dimensions are company policy, relationship with peers, work security, supervisory relationship, money, and working conditions. This research is guided by Herzberg’s Two Factor Theory which explains the difference between motivation and hygiene factors that can lead to job satisfaction. Data were collected using an online questionnaire distributed to auditors in Johor state audit firms with diverse personal and professional backgrounds.
