Determinants of job satisfaction and motivation among community forest workers: insights from the Hindu Kush Himalaya, Pakistan

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

To restore the forest landscape and improve livelihoods, the Government of Pakistan has implemented significant efforts under the Billion Tree Afforestation Project, with Community Forest Workers playing a key role. This study explores the factors influencing job satisfaction and motivation among these workers in the Hindu Kush Himalayan region of Pakistan. Data were collected through a survey of 362 workers and 15 interviews with village elders. The results show that low wages and agricultural landholdings reduce job satisfaction, while adequate training, timely funding for projects, prompt salary payments, and strong cooperation from stakeholders improve it. Additionally, respectful treatment by forest department staff enhances job satisfaction, while financial struggles, poor communication, and a lack of educational programmes negatively affect it. Our findings emphasise the need for the government to prioritise worker training, motivation, and foster better stakeholder collaboration to effectively involve workers in landscape restoration efforts.
