Abstract

The global drop in oil and natural gas industry have had a significant impact on the
Malaysian market and have potentially redirected Malaysia under a negative global
spotlight. The layoff rate in oil and natural gas organizations have risen dramatically,
this situation may affect the satisfaction level among employees and their loyalty in
the respective oil and natural gas industry. The present study is aimed to determine the
relationship between employee satisfaction and employee loyalty in Oil and Natural
Gas Industry. Using simple random sampling technique 100 employees working in Oil
and Natural Gas Industry were selected as respondents. Questionnaire was used for
data collection. Results obtained showed that there is positive correlation between different
components of employee satisfaction and employee loyalty. A notable variable
that emerged in the analysis was compensation and benefits, while career development
was least important that predisposed loyalty.
