ABSTRACT: Youth job satisfaction and professional commitment are critical topics in contemporary human resource management and organizational behaviour. As the global workforce continues to evolve, understanding the dynamics of these elements among younger employees has become increasingly vital for organizations aiming to attract, retain, and nurture talent. This study explores the factors influencing job satisfaction among young employees and examines how these factors impact their commitment to their professions. Key opportunities, such as the potential for innovation, adaptability to technological advancements, and increased diversity, are contrasted with challenges like work-life balance, career advancement opportunities, and job security. Through a comprehensive analysis of recent data and literature, this paper identifies critical drivers of job satisfaction for youth, including organizational culture, leadership style, and personal growth opportunities. Furthermore, it examines how these drivers affect professional commitment, highlighting the correlation between job satisfaction and retention rates. The study suggests strategies for organizations to enhance job satisfaction and professional commitment among young employees, such as mentorship programs, flexible work arrangements, and clear career progression paths. By addressing these challenges and leveraging the opportunities, organizations can foster a more engaged and committed youthful workforce, ultimately contributing to organizational success and employee well-being.
