The impact of the interlinked determinants (nature of work, opportunities for promotion, relationship with the co-workers, relationship with the supervisors, and existing pay) with the job satisfaction and employees' performance was examined at the PIA through cross-sectional research strategy. Total 42 employees participated in the survey included through combining purposive and convenience sampling technique. Findings revealed that there is strong positive upward linear correlation between job satisfaction and employees' performance (r=0.905) and statistically significant (p=0.001). In addition to that, the opportunities for learning, relationship with co-workers, and existing pay has statistically significant role while relationship with supervisor and nature of work have non-significant role in relation to employees' performance and job satisfaction. Lastly, the existing pay is most dominant among all factors that mediate employees' performance and job satisfaction.
