According to Abraham A. Kumar there two types of variables, which determine the job
satisfaction of an individual. These are:
1. Organization Variables
2. Personal Variables
1. Organization variables:
i. Occupational Level: The higher the level of the job, the greater the satisfaction of the
individuals. This is because, higher level of jobs carries greater prestige and self-control. This
relationship between occupational level and job satisfaction stems from social reference
group theory in our society values some jobs more than others
ii. Job content: Greater the variation in job content and less the repetitiveness with which the
tasks must be performed, the greater the satisfaction of the individuals involved. Since job
content in terms of variety and nature of tasks called for is a function of occupational level.
The theoretical arguments given above apply here also.
iii. Considerate Leadership: People to be treated with consideration. Hence considerate
leadership results in higher job satisfaction than in considerate leadership.
2. Personal Variables

organizational conditions, where for other most jobs will be satisfying personal variable for
this difference.
i) Age
ii) Educational Level
iii) Role perception
iv) Sex
