The aim of this paper is to study the impact of HR practices on job satisfaction in the context of small and medium sized manufacturing industry in Bangladesh. A total of 210 responses from 18 small and medium sized manufacturing firms were collected and analyzed objectively. It was found that HR practices have a significant association with job satisfaction. In addition, human resource planning were found to have positive impact on job satisfaction. It was also found that training and development has the greatest impact on job satisfaction. But, recruitment and selection, performance appraisals, compensation and rewards have very negligible impact on job satisfaction as their respective statistics are insignificant.

The paper is divided into the following sections in order to fulfill the goal. The literature review and research gap are presented first, based on previous investigations. The research methods used in the study are then described. The analysis, results and discussions are reported in the paper’s third section.
