Abstract

This study aims to explore the implementation of incentive systems in Algerian economic institutions and their impact on fostering job satisfaction among employees. A field study was conducted involving four economic institutions: company Naftal, the Electricity and Gas Distribution Company, the subsidiary company Céréal de l’Ouest of the Agrodiv Group, and the National Company of Electronic Industries. Data was collected through a questionnaire, with a study sample comprising 80 individuals. The collected data were analyzed using SPSS version 23. The study yielded several findings, the most significant of which is the existence of a relationship between the implemented incentive system and the achievement of employee job satisfaction.
