1.3 Review of Literature
Job satisfaction is the level of contentment a person feels regarding his or her job. This
feeling is mainly based on an individual's perception of satisfaction. Job satisfaction can be
influenced by a person's ability to complete required tasks, the level of communication in an
organization, and the way management treats employees.
3. 3 | P a g e
Blum & Neylon (2001) says“Job satisfaction is defined, as it is result of various attitudes the
person hold toward the life in general.”Job satisfaction falls into two levels: affective job
satisfaction and cognitive job satisfaction. Affective job satisfaction is a person's emotional
feeling about the job as a whole. Cognitive job satisfaction is how satisfied employees feel
concerning some aspect of their job, such as pay, hours, or benefits.(Robbins, 2000)
Many organizations face challenges in accurately measuring job satisfaction, as the definition
of satisfaction can differ among various people within an organization. However, most
organizations realize that workers' level of job satisfaction can impact their job performance,
and thus determining metrics is crucial to creating strong efficiency.(Regis & Porto, 2006;
Worf, 1970)
Despite widespread belief to the contrary, studies have shown that high-performing
employees do not feel satisfied with their job simply as a result of to high-level titles or
increased pay. This lack of correlation is a significant concern for organizations, since studies
also reveal that the implementation of positive HR practices results in financial gain for the
organizations. The cost of employees is quite high, and creating satisfaction relevant to the
return on this investment is paramount. Simply put: positive work environments and
increased shareholder value are directly related.(Maslow’s 1954 cited in Huber, 2006)
Some factors of job satisfaction may rank as more important than others, depending on each
worker's needs and personal and professional goals. To create a benchmark for measuring and
ultimately creating job satisfaction, managers in an organization can employ proven test
methods such as the Job Descriptive Index (JDI) or the Minnesota Satisfaction Questionnaire
(MSQ). These assessments help management define job satisfaction objectively. (Cusworth
and Franks, 2003).
Typically, five factors can be used to measure and influence job satisfaction:
1. Pay or total compensation, 2.The work itself (job specifics such as projects,
responsibilities), 3.Promotion opportunities (expanded responsibilities, more prestigious
title), 4.Relationship with supervisor, 5. Interaction and work relationship with coworkers.
