In view of the importance of the apparel sector in the economic development of Sri Lanka, hence the focus of this study is to analyze the effect of job satisfaction on job performance of factory employees in 17 apparel firms situated in free trade zones. A self developed questionnaire was used to collect data. A total of 383 questionnaires were distributed among respondents and 322 usable questionnaires were returned, yielding a response rate of 84%. The data was analyzed by using descriptive analysis and structural equation methods. The findings show that job satisfaction has a significant positive effect on job performance.
