This study investigates the factors influencing tea worker satisfaction in the Sylhet region of Bangladesh, focusing on worker well-being, motivation, and the work environment. Utilizing a mixed-method approach, the study combines quantitative surveys with tea workers and qualitative interviews with tea estate managers to gather comprehensive data. The findings reveal that inadequate wages, poor living conditions, and limited access to healthcare are significant barriers to worker satisfaction. The study also underscores the importance of non-monetary benefits, such as recognition and career advancement opportunities, in enhancing motivation. The application of Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs, Herzberg’s Two-Factor Theory, and McGregor’s Theory Y provides a robust theoretical framework for understanding the complex dynamics at play. The study concludes with practical recommendations for managers and policymakers aimed at improving the overall well-being, motivation, and satisfaction of tea workers, ultimately contributing to a more stable and productive workforce in the tea industry.
