Employee satisfaction is essential for an organization's success and survival. Job satisfaction measures how happy workforces are with their jobs and working environment. Many factors involve improving or maintaining high satisfaction rates, which wise insurance sectors would do well to implement. Employees’ job satisfaction is a multi-disciplinary concept that results from their perception of their jobs and the degree to which a good fit exists between them and the insurance sector. This study aims to examine the relationship between job satisfaction dimensions and employee performance, and it also explores how satisfaction influences employee performance in life insurance sectors. Descriptive and causal-comparative research designs were employed to examine the relationship and explore the dimensions. Data have been gathered from the 240 respondents through stratified sampling techniques and entered into SPSS version 20 for the analysis. The correlation result of the study clarified that there was a positive and significant relationship between job satisfaction constructs and employee performance. As per  regression analysis, payroll had a higher influence on job performance than other factors and was positively significant. So, the payroll system affected employees satisfaction to increase their performances. It has also reported significant positive relationships between interpersonal relationships and employee performance. However, there was an insignificant relationship between working environment and job performance.

This paper aims to investigate the impact of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) on the economic growth of Nepal for the period 2008/09 to 2017/18 A.D. yearly data. It evaluated the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) performance and the trends of FDI and Gross Fix Capital Formation (GFCF) in Nepal. To demonstrate the relationship between Nepalese Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) and Gross Fix Capital Formation (GFCF) Multiple-Regression-Model has been applied along with various econometrics techniques such as Unit-Root Test, Granger-Causality Test and Ordinary Least Square (OLS). GDP in this model is used as dependent variable whereas FDI and GFCF are measured as independent variables. According to the results, Unit Root Test indicated that all the variables included in the model were not stationary at level except FDI, whereas GDP and GFCF are stationary at first difference. The model is overall significant with the positive and significant relationship of GDP, FDI and GFCF. Result also indicate a good fit for the model with R2=86%. The Granger Causality Test revealed that there was no causality between the variables since all p-value obtained are more than 5%. Based on the empirical result of this paper, policy recommendation proposed that for Nepal to generate more foreign direct investment, hard work should be made at solving problems of government involvement in business; relative closed economy; corruption; weak public institutions; and poor external image, and political instability.

Since liquidity management can increase the bank’s profitability. the study has examined their liquidity management as well as profitability positions using various statistical and financial tools. The article indicates largely zigzag trend of average profitability of commercial banks, although the trend of liquidity ratios of the bank is unstable. The research concluded that bank’s liquidity ratios have below the prescribed standard. Similarly CRR is extremely heavy than prescribed by monetary policy 2016/17. The CRR and IGSCA are positively correlated with ROA while CRR and CBBISD are inversely correlated with ROA. In case of liquidity-ROE Relation, CR is inversely correlated to ROE but all other ratios (CRR, CBBISD and IGSCA) are positively correlated with ROE. It also has reported there is significant relationship between liquidity ratios with profitability, except between IGSCA and ROA.
