This study examines the role of employee satisfaction as a key determinant influencing training and development among executives. As organizations increasingly rely on skilled leadership to navigate competitive and rapidly evolving business environments, understanding the factors that drive executive engagement in learning initiatives becomes essential. This research explores how satisfaction levels shape executives’ motivation to participate in development programs, their perception of training relevance, and their willingness to apply acquired skills in organizational contexts. The study highlights gaps between organizational training offerings and executive expectations, emphasizing the importance of aligning developmental strategies with satisfaction-driven needs. By analyzing this relationship, the research contributes valuable insights for HR practitioners and leaders aiming to enhance retention, performance, and leadership capacity. The findings underscore the strategic significance of employee satisfaction in strengthening executive development frameworks and promoting continuous organizational growth.
