What is Job Satisfaction?

Before attempting to evaluate employee satisfaction, we need to know what it is. How we

define job satisfaction will help us structure an evaluation process that provides adequate

measurements of the variables that contribute to an employees performance and

attitude. Employee job satisfaction is the fulfillment, gratification, and enjoyment that

come from work. It is not just the money or the fringe benefits, but the feelings employees

receive from the work itself. Employment should be a mutually rewarding experience. The

facility has certain expectations for productivity, dependability, and cooperation and the

employees have certain expectations for good pay, benefits, quality supervision, and good

working environments.

There are two basic sources of job satisfaction:

1) The employees pride in their craft,

2) The work environment both, physical and interpersonal.

The ability to produce the quality of the work, the opportunity to learn and express creativity, the sense of pride in their profession, the recognition for a job well done, the ability to work well in a team,

the social satisfaction derived from relationships at work, the opportunity to experience personal growth, the rewards from a physically supportive work environment.

Individuals may vary to the degree in which each of these factors contributes more or

less to their own job satisfaction. However, the result is that high job satisfaction

typically leads to career success.6 Caring for others and making the organization work

better are two sides of the same coin. The value to an organization that incorporates

regular employee satisfaction surveys is multi-faceted.

First, it stimulates employee thinking and awareness about themselves andothers.

Secondly, a quantitative survey can objectively and impersonally providefeedback about behavior or attitudes.

Finally, it can serve as the basis for discussion and learning as well as forpersonal and organizational development.

Why Should We Evaluate Employee Satisfaction?

There is a definite link between employee attitudes and workers satisfaction. If employees

are unhappy or dissatisfied, despite their best efforts, it is difficult for them to conceal thisfactor when interacting with workers and other staff members. One of the primary reasons

for evaluating employee satisfaction is to identify problems and try to resolve them before

they affect workers work and efficiency.Improving the quality of workers work in

DIGJAM is a vital and necessary activity.

SCOPE OF STUDY

Scope of study is a general outline of what the study (i.e. class or seminar) will cover.

"Scope" defines the parameters of study can be an object, or a theory process, activity.

Describing either future, current or past knowledge or statements of descriptive activity,

experience etc. Scope always unless of the unlimited nature (specific) will define specific

boundaries. Such as a manual is used to define employee duties or company procedures, studies

are used to obtain and knowledge to arrive at a logical finishing point. The definitions of scope

are the "borders" where the objective, knowledge, instruction or outcome of the activity is found

For the past three decades the problem of job satisfaction has attracted considerable attention of

industrial psychologists. It is regarded as a very significant factor in workers morale,

absenteeism, accidents, turnover, and to some extent productivity though its relationship with

productivity is not very clear.

According to Jorgensen accurate data importance ranking of job factor are vulnerable aid in

designing and revising personnel polices and practices including recruitment programmers and

supervisory training and diagnosing employee morale, in collective bargaining and also in

interviewing job applicants. It is generally agreed that poor job satisfaction that is dissatisfaction

in the work one does is more often accompanied by poor mental health and may be manifested in

a number of conditions from anxiety and headache to depression, from loss of appetite to

psychosomatic states, such as acute hyperacidity. Since the average man spends nearly 1/3 of his

time on the job, if he does not get job satisfaction he may suffer real frustration with results that

are costly both to himself and to the employer. Thus, the fact that many individuals having

unproductive, boring, meaningless jobs may cause severs social; problem.

Job satisfaction of great significance for efficient and profitable functioning of any organization,

satisfied workers are the greatest asset of any organization and dissatisfied workers the biggest

liability. In fact no organization can successfully achieve its goal unless and until those who

constitute the organization are satisfied in their jobs. It is believed that workers dissatisfied with

undesirable and demoralizing influence on all those who work near him.
