At the end, the researcher collected 410 qualified sample size after data screening. Descriptive statistics such as frequencies, percentages, mean and standard deviations were used. The research model and research hypothesis were successfully tested by Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) and Structural Equation Model (SEM) using SPSS and Amos 26 as research tools. Based on the study, “job satisfaction” is driven by compensation and work-life balance. They are the most influencing factors that make private employees stay in a company.
