This study aims to identify the relationship between job satisfaction and work performance, and analyze the influence of work satisfaction on work performance among industrial training students at Kolej Poly-Tech MARA Bangi during the COVID-19 outbreak. This study involves quantitative design where data collection is carried out by distributing Job Descriptive Index (JDI) questionnaires to 105 students involved in July 2020, November 2020 and April 2021 training session. Descriptive analysis methods are used to identify the demographic factors. Inference analysis using Pearson Correlation are used to study the relationship between job satisfaction and work performance. The Linear Regression analysis are deployed to study the influence of the job satisfaction sub factors, namely; work, rewards, supervisors and colleagues, on work performance during pandemic. The results reveal there is a positive relationship between job satisfaction and work performance. In addition, only three job satisfaction sub factors, namely the work itself, supervisors and colleagues, are found to influence the students' work performance. Meanwhile, the job satisfaction sub factor; rewards, does not affect the work performance of the students during the COVID-19 pandemic. The findings may contribute several recommendations to colleges and other researchers in future studies on job satisfaction and employee performance.
