Job satisfaction

 Introduction:-
 Job Satisfaction is the favorableness or un-favorableness with
which the employee views his work. It expresses the amount of
agreement between one’s expectation of the job and the rewards
that the job provides.
 Overall measures of satisfaction may be too broad: current
measures address different facets of job satisfaction. Overall job
satisfaction rate has remained the same for over 50 years
 Rates are much lower for government workers. When people say
they are satisfied, they often mean they are not dissatisfied!!
 Job Satisfaction is a part of life satisfaction.

the major factors influencing job satisfaction are presented below

To a worker, Supervision is equally a strong contributor to the job
satisfaction as well as to the job dissatisfaction. The feelings of
workers towards his supervisors are usually similar to his feeling
towards the company. The role of supervisor is a focal point for
attitude formation. Bad supervision results in absenteeism and
labor turnover. Good supervision results in higher production and
good industrial relations.
2. CO-WORKERS
Various studies had traced this factor as a factor of intermediate
importance. One’s associates with others had frequently been
motivated as a factor in job satisfaction. Certainly, this seems
reasonable because people like to be near their friends. The workers
derive satisfaction when the co-workers are helpful,friendly and co-
operative.

3.Pay
studies also show that most of the workers felt satisfied when they are
paid more adequately to the work performed by them. The relative
important of pay would probably changing factor in job satisfaction or
dissatisfaction.

4. Age
Age has also been found to have a direct relationship to level job of
satisfaction of employees. In some groups job satisfaction is higher with
increasing age, in other groups job satisfaction is lower and in other
there is no difference at all.

5. Education
Studies conducted among various workers revealed that most of
workers who had not completed their school education showed higher
satisfaction level. However, educated workers felt less satisfied in their
job.

Creating Job Satisfaction :-


So, how is job satisfaction created? What are the elements of a job that
create job
satisfaction? Organizations can help to create job satisfaction by putting
systems in place that will ensure that workers are challenged and then
rewarded for being successful.

• Training and other professional growth opportunities

• Interesting work that offers variety and challenge and allows the
worker opportunities to "put his or her signature" on the finished
product

• Opportunities to use one's talents and to be creative

• Opportunities to take responsibility and direct one's own work

• A stable, secure work environment that includes job


security/continuity

• An environment in which workers are supported by an accessible


supervisor who provides timely feedback as well as congenial team
members

• Flexible benefits, such as child-care and exercise facilities

• Up-to-date technology

• Competitive salary and opportunities for promotion

Probably the most important point to bear in mind when considering


job satisfaction isthat there are many factors that affect job satisfaction
and that what makes workers happywith their jobs varies from one
worker to another and from day to day
Workers' Roles in Job Satisfaction:-
If job satisfaction is a worker benefit, surely the worker must be able to
contribute to his or her own satisfaction and well-being on the job. The
following suggestions can help a worker find personal job satisfaction:

• Seek opportunities to demonstrate skills and talents. This often leads


to more challenging work and greater responsibilities, with attendant
increases in pay andother recognition.

• Develop excellent communication skills. Employers value and reward


excellent reading, listening, writing, and speaking skills.

• Know more, Acquire new job-related knowledge that helps you to


perform tasks more efficiently and effectively. This will relieve boredom
and often gets one noticed.

• Demonstrate creativity and initiative. Qualities like these are valued


by most organizations and often result in recognition as well as in
increased responsibilities and rewards.

 Develop teamwork and people skills. A large part of job success is


the ability towork well with others to get the job done.

-----Factors contributing to job satisfaction and its importance

 Job satisfaction is really a big factor for a professional because it


brings enjoyment while working which in turns brings happiness
in life.
 Job satisfaction basically depends upon two most important
factors. Firstly salary and secondly the working environment,
which include work culture, nature of work, colleagues etc.
People working with a middle class background are generally
influenced by the first factor. Before modernization people works
without knowing about job satisfaction.
 In this case a question arises is job satisfaction a reality? For
someone it just a source of income but for someone its more than
that. The second factor seems to be the most important of all.
Working in a good environment is also important for a healthy
mind. A man with a very healthy pay may not satisfied with a job
where he did not find a suitable working environment.
 In fact there are people who spent their life time working with the
same organization without thinking about satisfaction. On the
other hand, some people switch over to other organizations in
search of satisfaction. In such case the organization also plays an
important role. Looking after all the facilities, and wages/pay.
Some other factors such as family responsibility, health and
growth also play an important part..
