Moreover, the levels of job satisfaction and employee motivation equally mediate the relationship between safety health environment and employee retention. The findings of this paper suggest that the pharmaceutical firms in Pakistan and specifically in Lahore should foster health protection policies, and in turn it would help enhance the satisfaction and motivation in staff, resulting in the retention of capable employees. |
