Final Answer : C, Explanation :  There is a modest correlation between job satisfaction and job performance, but it is a complex relationship that has not been fully understood. Research has shown that job satisfaction can lead to improved job performance, but the causality can also go the other way with good performance leading to higher job satisfaction. Additionally, other factors such as individual differences and situational factors can also influence the relationship between job satisfaction and job performance.
