Social security protection plays an important role in providing protection and assurance to employees. Having awareness employees is the main factor for an organisation to achieve success and the main purpose for the social security of its existence is to serve employee interest and awareness of social security among their employees. However, to increase the awareness among the employee is not an easy task because being a construct in psychology, awareness is influence by many factors. At many instances organisation strategies activities is to boost their employees performance. Moreover, these activities do not give many benefits mainly due to the lack of proper follow up. The employees don’t truly know about the flows of SOCSO’s claimed process. In order to determine awareness, we had conducted the research and a tool used was questionnaire. 112 questionnaires was distributed and the feedback showed that the factors that influencing the awareness was employees satisfaction, management support and employees attitude.
