Job SatisfactionJob Satisfaction
 Measuring Job Satisfaction
– Single global rating
– Summation score
 How Satisfied Are People in Their Jobs?
– Job satisfaction declined to 50.7% in 2000
– Decline attributed to:
• Pressures to increase productivity
• Less control over work

 Satisfaction and Productivity
– Satisfied workers aren’t necessarily more productive.
– Worker productivity is higher in organizations with
more satisfied workers.
 Satisfaction and Absenteeism
– Satisfied employees have fewer avoidable absences.
 Satisfaction and Turnover
– Satisfied employees are less likely to quit.
– Organizations take actions to cultivate high performers
and to weed out lower performers.

 Employment Interview
– Perceptual biases affect the accuracy of interviewers’

 Performance Expectations
– Self-fulfilling prophecy (pygmalion effect): The lower or
higher performance of employees reflects
preconceived leader expectations about employee
capabilities.
 Performance Evaluations
– Appraisals are subjective perceptions of performance.

 Employees are intrinsically motivated when
rewards an employee gets from work result from:
– Choice– the ability to freely self-select and perform
task activities.
– Competence– the sense of accomplishment from
skillfully performing chosen tasks or activities.
– Meaningfulness– pursuing a task that matters in the
