Abstract

Satisfaction of the employees working in an organization is one of the major challenging tasks for any organization. In this research as reported in the title, the Bayesian theorem is applied to find out the combination of possible cases of highly influencing factors that were confirmed using correlation, and the various combinations which will lead to best-case scenarios and worst-case scenarios are found using Bayesian Theorem.  The novelty in the article is applying Baye’s theorem for the study which was undertaken. Baye’s theorem is a mathematical principle based on probability theory where the conditional probability approach is considered to study the likelihood of the outcome of the occurring event based on the previous occurrence.
