promotion system, job autonomy, leadership behavior, social relations are also the

Job satisfaction is the result of promotion opportunities in the organization.

Job dissatisfaction is the outcome of insecurity among employees.
Important factors like low job security, working conditions and the nature of
work, low wages and lack of promotion, low job autonomy have adverse affect
on the level of job satisfaction of employees.

and relation with co-workers are the vital factors.
The working as a team has significant impact on the satisfaction level of
employees as it affects their performance.
It is essential to recognize to the significance of these factors to boost the
satisfaction level in the workforce. (Khan, Nawaz, & Hamed, 22 February, 2012).
Impact of autonomy on job satisfaction
bioethical and moral attitude, the concept of autonomy, has its ancestry. It relates
to the capacity of rational individual to take decision independently.
Impact of relationship with supervisors on job satisfaction
supervision of the immediate manager increases the level of job satisfaction in the
public sector employees. The productivity and performance of subordinates can
be improved with managerial actions and supervision. The
recognition of the achievements by the supervisors leads toward job satisfaction
and is useful to solve the problems.
Impact of nature of work on job satisfaction
the work itself has positively correlated with the satisfaction of employee.
According to Robbins et al. (2003) refer to the work itself as the extent to which
the job provides the individual with stimulating tasks, opportunities for learning
and personal growth, and the chance to be responsible and accountable for
results.
If employee will satisfied and happy then he/she will do his /her work in a very
impressive way, and then the result will be good, on the other hand motivated
employee will motivate other employees in office. (Chaudhary & Sharma, 2012).
2. Decision-making and practical Expectations
It is important to engage employees in the decision making process, but create
realistic expectations in the process. (Chaudhary & Sharma, 2012).
3. Job Description, Work Environment and Flexibility
Employee doing the right job for his personality and skill set, and performing well at
the job greatly increases employee motivation and satisfaction. A safe and nonthreatening work environment is necessary to maintain a high level of employee
motivation. Flexible human resource policies, flexible time, work from home,
childcare also be liable to have happier and more motivated workers. (Chaudhary &
Sharma, 2012).
4. Pay and Benefits
Keeping employees motivated with good benefits is easy. Where to draw the line at
generous benefits that motivate all employees, versus raises and larger salaries to
retain and attract the best workers and keep them happy and motivated to be working
for you, are more difficult. .

Creating a positive and employee-friendly company culture is a great motivational
tool.

There is a large economics literature on individual and economy-wide productivity.

Although peoples happiness and their effort decisions are likely to be deeply

3. Ability to Influence Decisions Having a real say in the decision-making process can
be personally satisfying and contribute to your sense of involvement and
identification with the company. When you contribute, people notice. When you
contribute, opportunities open up.
4. Job Security Job security is rapidly becoming a thing of the past. Most people will
have many jobs over the course of their working lives. What job security means today
is that you have strong transferable skills and knowledge that you can bring with you
to each new job. Plan to build solid reading, math, technical and thinking skills.
5. Workload A heavy workload can lead to stress and burnout. A light workload can be
totally boring and unsatisfying. Of course there will be more and less intense periods
with every job but over the long haul you want balance! A good job will give you
enough work to keep you productive and challenged and yet not so much that you feel
youre being taken advantage of.
6. Flexibility The office environment is expanding beyond the building walls. Workers
belonging to the same work team may be in different states or even different
countries. Approximately 20% of the US workforce telecommutes and this number
grows at the rate of 12% per year. Currently 53% of federal workers are on flexible or
compressed work schedules. The standard 9-5 work day isnt suited to everyone or to
every situation. Check out the possibilities.
7. Physical Work Environment Few workplaces are exactly as we want them to be but
a poor work environment can make us hate getting up in the morning. Is the
workplace comfortable? How is the ventilation? Lighting? Temperature? Is there
adequate privacy? Is it attractive and welcoming? Is it conducive to work? Are you
OK with the dress code?
8. Advancement and New Opportunities Does management reward achievements with
increased responsibility? Are there opportunities for growth or promotion? Can you
work towards different responsibilities? Lack of opportunity can be frustrating and
demoralizing.
9. New Technologies Companies that use cutting edge technology provide you with
new challenges, new skills and new experiences that you take with you along your
career path. Having to bumble along with insufficient resources and aging technology
can be difficult and draining.
10.Interesting Projects Working on interesting projects can be greatly rewarding.
When you work with a motivated group of people on a project that is meaningful to
youorganizing a major event, building a bridge, launching a new product, helping
out in a natural disasterit is an opportunity to build new skills and to establish
yourself as a team player who can contribute under pressure.
11.Training and Education
Training and upgrading keep you on top of your game and can greatly increase
chances for advancement. Does the company offer training? Does the company
support continuing education by giving time off as needed? Remember that the
majority of new jobs will require some postsecondary education.
12.Interpersonal Relations
Good relationships in the workplace are essential ingredients of a good job. The
workplace is a social environment. Employees are happier and do better when there is
a sense of teamwork and camaraderie. When employees get along and work well
together, there is lower turnover, less friction and better performance.
13. Challenges
A job that doesnt stretch you can lead to frustration and dissatisfaction. If youre
bored, resentful and unhappy you are not doing yourself or your employer much
good.
14.Recognition
A good company will take the time to acknowledge and appreciate employee efforts,
especially when an employee goes above and beyond the job description. Maybe this
means making a suggestion that saves the company money, streamlining a procedure
or helping the company exceed production or sales quotas. It can also mean doing
what you were hired to dotaking pride in your work, being friendly and doing your
job consistently well.
are not satisfied with their jobs often badmouth their organization and also warn
friends and acquaintances to join the same.
Employee satisfaction is essential to ensure higher revenues for the organization.
No amount of trainings or motivation would help, unless and until individuals develop
a feeling of attachment and loyalty towards their organization. Employees waste half
of their time fighting with their counter parts or sorting out issues with them. Trust
me; employees who are satisfied with their jobs seldom have the time to indulge in
nasty office politics. They tend to ignore things and do not even have the time to crib
or fight with others. Satisfied employees are the happy employees who willingly help
their fellow workers and cooperate with the organization even during emergency
situations. Such employees do not think of leaving their jobs during crisis but work
hard together as a single unit to overcome challenges and come out of the situation as
soon as possible. For them, their organization comes first, everything else later. They
do not come to office just for money but because they really feel for the organization
and believe in its goals and objectives. Satisfied employees also spread positive word
of mouth and always stand by each other. Instead of wasting their time in gossiping
and loitering around they believe in doing productive work eventually benefitting the
organization. They take pride in representing their respective organizations and work
hard to ensure higher revenues for the organization.
Satisfied employees tend to adjust more and handle pressure with ease as
compared to frustrated ones. Employees who are not satisfied with their jobs would
find a problem in every small thing and be too rigid. They find it extremely difficult to
compromise or cope up with the changing times. On the other hand, employees who
are happy with their jobs willing participate in training programs and are eager to
learn new technologies, softwares which would eventually help them in their
professional career. Satisfied employees accept challenges with a big smile and
deliver even in the worst of circumstances.
must create a work environment that is free from dissatisfiers in order that employees
can go about achieving the aims and mission of the organization that are in line with
their own career goals and objectives. Managers should encourage employees to take
responsibility for their own job satisfaction by developing an environment that allows
them the scope to perform well. In this environment, employees need to accept that
responsibility and take steps to build on their own satisfaction.
