In today’s globalized competitive environment, in order to survive and compete in the market, firms should use their resources productively. Especially in sectors requiring intensive labor force such as textile sector, human resource has become more important. Job satisfaction will not only enable firm’s survival in the market, but also provides competitive advantage. In line with this, the factors effecting job satisfaction should be identified and improved in accordance with the expectations of employees. In this paper, the effect of wage and career expectations of employees and their potential of creativity on job satisfaction is studied. With the help of literature, a survey model is formed and the relationships between variables are tested through factor, reliability, correlation and regression analysis. According to correlation analysis, it is found that all variables are correlated with job satisfaction and career expectation has the strongest relationship.
