Results indicate a significant positive relationship between job characteristics (including skill variety, task identity, task significance, autonomy, and feedback) and job satisfaction. Additionally, a significant positive relationship between FWA and job satisfaction was observed. These findings carry significant implications for both organizations and employees. Embracing FWA can enhance job
