                              INTRODUCTION  The oil and natural gas industry is re-garded as an industry that is encountering highly competitive challenges worldwide, and is currently undergoing mass and rapid environmental alignment. In a re-cent study, Lee (2012) had stated that growth of the oil and natural gas industry relies upon the quality of the professional engineers and talented employees. Ac-cording to Malaysian Employers Federa-tion (2010), a high turnover rate reported by oil and natural gas industries world-wide thus implies employees’ commit-ment. In Malaysia, the oil and natural gas industry is recognized as the one with most potential prospects towards the na-tion’s economic growth, when compared to the other engineering industries (Ab-dullah, 2009).  ABSTRACT  The global drop in oil and natural gas industry have had a significant impact on the Malaysian market and have potentially redirected Malaysia under a negative global spotlight. The layoff rate in oil and natural gas organizations have risen dramatically, this situation may affect the satisfaction level among employees and their loyalty in the respective oil and natural gas industry. The present study is aimed to determine the relationship between employee satisfaction and employee loyalty in Oil and Natural Gas Industry. Using simple random sampling technique 100 employees working in Oil and Natural Gas Industry were selected as respondents. Questionnaire was used for data collection. Results obtained showed that there is positive correlation between dif-ferent components of employee satisfaction and employee loyalty. A notable variable that emerged in the analysis was compensation and benefits, while career development was least important that predisposed loyalty.
