INTRODUCTION
Job satisfaction is the end feeling of a person after

performing a task to the extent that a person’s job fulfills his
dominant needs and in consistent with his expectations and values,
the job will be satisfying, the feeling would be positive or negative
depending upon whether need is satisfied or not.
Job satisfaction is an individuals general attitude towards his

or her job, job satisfaction is a pleasurable or positive emotional
state resulting from the appraisal of ones job experience it tells that
job satisfaction is consequence of employee’s perception of how
well his job provides him those things which are considered to be
important.
Job satisfaction is different from motivation and morale,

motivation refers to the willingness to work satisfaction. on the
other hand implies a general attitude towards work and work
environment it is a group phenomenon where as job
satisfaction is an individual feeling, job satisfaction may be
considered a dimension of morale and morale could also be a
source of satisfaction. attitudes are predis-positions that make the
individual behave in a particular way, job satisfaction on the
contrary is the end feeling which may influence subsequent
behavior thus job satisfaction is an employees general attitudes
towards his job.
Job satisfaction is an attitude of employees, which results

from balancing and summating of many specific likes and dislikes
experienced in connection with the job the term job satisfaction
can be further expressed as a state of simultaneous and
dynamic interaction between two sets of variable namely man and
job.
The greatest resource of an organization is people of

course buildings, funds physical comforts play an important role
but still they are secondary, so it is one of the important
responsibilities of every organization to keep its employees
satisfied in reality lack of job satisfaction will lead to various
industrial problems the human resource is considered to be
most valuable assets in any organization. the human resource
should utilized to the maximum possible extent in order to
achieve individual and organizational goals. Thus employee
performance is to a great extent influenced by motivation and job
satisfaction.
Employee satisfaction and retention have always been
important issues for physicians. After all, high levels of
absenteeism and staff turnover can affect your bottom line, as
temps, recruitment and retraining take their toll. But few practices
(in fact, few organizations) have made job satisfaction a top
priority, perhaps because they have failed to understand the
significant opportunity that lies in front of them. Satisfied
employees tend to be more productive, creative and committed to
their employers, and recent studies have shown a direct correlation
between staff satisfaction and patient satisfaction.1 Family
physicians who can create work environments that attract, motivate
and retain hard-working individuals will be better positioned to
succeed in a competitive health care environment that demands
quality and cost-efficiency. What's more, physicians may even
discover that by creating a positive workplace for their employees,
they've increased their own job satisfaction
Job satisfaction describes how content an individual is with

his or her job. The happier people are within their job, the more
satisfied they are said to be. Job satisfaction is not the same as
motivation, although it is clearly linked. Job design aims to
enhance job satisfaction and performance; methods include job
rotation, job enlargement and job enrichment. Other influences on
satisfaction include the management style and culture, employee
involvement, empowerment and autonomous work groups. Job
satisfaction is a very important attribute which is frequently
measured by organizations. The most common way of
measurement is the use of rating scales where employees report
their reactions to their jobs. Questions relate to rate of pay, work
responsibilities, variety of tasks, promotional opportunities the
work itself and co-workers. Some questioners ask yes or no
questions while others ask to rate satisfaction on 1-5 scale (where 1
represents "not at all satisfied" and 5 represents "extremely
satisfied").
Job satisfaction is one of the important factors which have

down attending of managers in the organization. As well as
academicians. Various studies have been conducted to find out the
factors which determine job satisfaction and the way it influences
productivity in the organization. Though there is no
conclusive Evidence that job
Satisfaction affects productivity directly because productivity
depends on so many variables it is still a prime concern for
managers. Job satisfaction is the mental feeling of favorableness
which an individual has about his job. Durbin’s has defined job
satisfaction in terms of pleasure and Contentment when he says
that,
“Job satisfaction is the amount of pleasure or contentment
associated with job. If you like your job intensely, you will
experience high job satisfaction. If you dislike your job intensely,
you will experience job satisfaction”.
Definition
Job satisfaction has been defined as a pleasurable emotional

state resulting from the appraisal of one’s job; an affective reaction
to one’s job; and an attitude towards one’s job. Weiss (2002) has
argued that job satisfaction is an attitude but points out that
researchers should clearly distinguish the objects of cognitive
evaluation which are affect (emotion), beliefs and behaviors. This
definition suggests that we form attitudes towards our jobs by
taking into account our feelings, our beliefs, and our behaviors.
Improving job satisfaction
Job satisfaction plays significant role in the organization.

Therefore managers should take concrete steps to improve the
level of job satisfaction. These steps may be in the form of job
redesigning to make the more interesting and challenging.
Improving quality of work life, Linking rewards with performance,
and improving overall organizational climate.
Importance of job satisfaction
• Reduces absenteeism and turnover.

• Spreads goodwill about the organization.
• Individual can live with the organization.
• Job satisfaction has some relation with the mental of the
people
• Job satisfaction has degree of positive co-relation with
physical health of individual.
Creating Job Satisfaction
Organizations can help to create job satisfaction by putting so,

how is job satisfaction created What are the elements of a job that
create systems in place that will ensure that workers are challenged
and then rewarded for being successful Organizations that aspire to
creating a work environment that enhances job satisfaction need to
incorporate the following:
• Flexible work arrangements, possibly including
telecommuting
• Training and other professional growth opportunities

• Interesting work that offers variety and challenge and allows
the worker opportunities to "put his or her signature" on the
finished product
• Opportunities to use one's talents and to be creative
• Opportunities to take responsibility and direct one's own
work
• A stable, secure work environment that includes job
security/continuity
• An environment in which workers are supported by an
accessible supervisor who provides timely feedback as well
as congeners team members
• Flexible benefits, such as child-care and exercise facilities
• Up-to-date technology
• Competitive salary and opportunities for promotion

Workers' role in Job Satisfaction
If job satisfaction is a worker benefit, surely the worker must

be able to contribute to his or her own satisfaction and well-being
on the job. The following suggestions can help a worker find
personal job satisfaction:
• Seek opportunities to demonstrate skills and talents. This

often leads to more challenging work and greater
responsibilities, with attendant increases in pay and other
recognition.
• Develop excellent communication skills. Employer’s value

and reward excellent reading, listening, writing, and speaking
skills.
• Know more. Acquire new job-related knowledge that helps

you to perform tasks more efficiently and effectively. This
will relieve boredom and often gets one noticed.
• Demonstrate creativity and initiative. Qualities like these are

valued by most organizations and often result in recognition
as well as in increased responsibilities and rewards.
• Develop teamwork and people skills. A large part of job
success is the ability to work well with others to get the job
done.
• Accept the diversity in people. Accept people with their

differences and their imperfections and learn how to give and
receive criticism constructively.
• See the value in your work. Appreciating the significance of

what one does can lead to satisfaction with the work itself.
This helps to give meaning to one's existence, thus playing a
vital role in job satisfaction.
• Learn to de-stress. Plan to avoid burnout by developing

healthy stress-management techniques.
What are the statistically significant factors that affect

Job satisfaction?
Opportunity:-
Employees are more satisfied when they have
challenging opportunities at work. This includes chances to
participate in interesting projects, jobs with a satisfying
degree of challenge and opportunities for increased
responsibility. Important: this is not simply "promotional
opportunity." As organizations have become flatter,
promotions can be rare. People have found challenge through
projects, team leadership, special assignments-as well as
promotions.
Actions:
• Promote from within when possible.
• Reward promising employees with roles on

interesting projects.
• Divide jobs into levels of increasing leadership

and responsibility.
It may be possible to create job titles that demonstrate

increasing levels of expertise which are not limited by
availability of positions. They simply demonstrate
achievement.
Stress:-
When negative stress is continuously high, job

satisfaction is low. Jobs are more stressful if they interfere
with employees' personal lives or are a continuing source of
worry or concern.
Actions:
• Promote a balance of work and personal lives.

Make sure that senior managers model this behavior.
• Distribute work evenly (fairly) within work teams.
• Review work procedures to remove unnecessary

"red tape" or bureaucracy.
• Manage the number of interruptions employees

have to endure while trying to do their jobs.
• Some organizations utilize exercise or "fun"

breaks at work
Leadership:-
Employees are more satisfied when their managers are

good leaders. This includes motivating employees to do a
good job, striving for excellence or just taking action.
Actions:
• Make sure your managers are well trained.

Leadership combines attitudes and behavior. It can be
learned.
• People respond to managers that they can trust
and who inspire them to achieve meaningful goals.
Work Standards:-
Employees are more satisfied when their entire

workgroup takes pride in the quality of its work.
Actions:
• Encourage communication between employees

and customers. Quality gains importance when
employees see its impact on customers.
• Develop meaningful measures of quality.

Celebrate achievements in quality.
Trap:-
Be cautious of slick, "packaged" campaigns that are

perceived as superficial and patronizing.
Fair Rewards:-
Employees are more satisfied when they feel they are
rewarded fairly for the work they do. Consider employee
responsibilities, the effort they have put forth, the work they
have done well and the demands of their jobs.
Actions:
• Make sure rewards are for genuine contributions
to the organization.
• Be consistent in your reward policies.
• If your wages are competitive, make sure
employees know this.
• Rewards can include a variety of benefits and
perks other than money.
As an added benefit, employees who are rewarded fairly,

experience less stress.
Adequate Authority:-
Employees are more satisfied when they have adequate

freedom and authority to do their jobs.
Actions:
When reasonable:
• Let employees make decisions.

• Allow employees to have input on decisions that
will affect them.
• Establish work goals but let employees determine

how they will achieve those goals. Later reviews may
identify innovative "best practices."
• Ask, "If there were just one or two decisions that

you could make, which ones would make the biggest
difference in your job?"
Secret:-
One thing that makes humans unique is our ability to focus

energy. Whether to heat a home or to cut steel with a laser,
focusing energy where it's needed produces significant results. As
a manager, you need to know what is important and where it is a
problem. Focusing time and resources on a specific problem is
more likely to produce measurable benefits to the organization.
Factors in employee satisfaction and dissatisfaction
Job satisfaction is related to the attitude of employee, if the

employees given a work for which he has no attitude, the job will
provide no attraction to him. Hence the question of contribution ,
creativity or motivation does not arise, it is for the
management to design jobs in such a manner that each worker get
the job of his choice the content of the work itself is major source
of satisfaction.
1. Personal Factors
2. Job Related Factors
3. Management Related Factors
1. Personal Factors
• Sex
There is as yet no evidence as to whether women are
move satisfied with their jobs than men, holding such factor as job
and occupant level content. One Might predict. This to be case
consisting generally lower occupational aspiration of Women, how
ever times have changed that women too aspire for good pay, job
security and opportunity for advancement.
• Age
Individual experiences different degree of job satisfaction

at different stages of their life, job satisfaction is high at the initial
stages rising up to certain stages and finally dips to a low degree.
The possible reason for this phenomenon is like this, when a
individual joins our origination he may some unrealistic
assumption about what they are going to derive from their work.
This assumption fall short of reality, Job satisfaction goes down. It
starts rising as the people start to asses the job in right perspective
and correct there assumption. At the last particularly at the fag end
of the career.
• Time of job
It is generally agreed that job satisfaction is high, when you

are fresh in your job and decrease during the ninth year of service
and rise again with more time of the job
• Education
Studies have shown that they there is a tendency for more

educated workers to be less satisfied on the other hand less
education worker to be more satisfied, The reason may be that the
highly educated worker may get disgusted because of the higher
level of respiration and he thinks that is suitable for higher job.
• Intelligence
Intelligence has tremendous contribution towards securing

job satisfaction with greater degree of excellence in the
performance. But it may also be seen that a highly intelligent
person gets fed up with job sooner and applies himself towards
developing some other for another type of job.
• Personality
Once personality traits have their inequitable impact on his

mode of functioning in several of life, a person with personality
often finds faults with his work environment and ultimately even
with him, this is likely to build dissatisfaction with his job. On the
other hand a person with balanced. Personality will adjust in the
job finds his own ways for doing his job well. He develops his own
style of work that possibly appears to be unique and pleasing to
others.
• Family respondents
A worker with family responsibility is generally very much

disturbed as he finds difficulties solving his numerous family
difficulties and commitments more the number of dependences one
has. Less satisfaction he has with is job.
• Number of dependents
The number of dependants also influences the level of the job

satisfaction. If one has large family it is hard to manage with little
earnings this may lead to less satisfaction.
• Other factors
Beside the above two factors which effects job satisfaction.

If an individual does not have favorable social and family life he
may not fell comfortable at the work place. Other personal
problem, Associated with him may affect his level of job
satisfaction.
2. Job related factors
• Occupational level
Higher levels of jobs provide more pleasure compared to

lower levels. This because higher position carry prestige and status
in society which it self becomes the source at satisfaction for job
holders.
• Job content
Job content refers to the intensive value at the job which

depends on the requirement of skills for performing it and the
degree of responsibility and growth it offense
• Working condition
Working condition particularly physical work environment, like

work place and associated facilities for performing the job
determines the job satisfaction. This work in two ways, first these
provide means for job performances, Second provisions of this
conditions effect the individual perception about the organization.
If these factor are favorable then individual experience higher level
of job satisfaction.
• Supervision
The type of supervision effect job satisfaction as in each type

of supervision the degree of importance attached to individual
various. In employee oriented supervision. There is more concern
for people which is perceive favorably by them and provides them
more satisfaction. In the job oriented supervision. There is more
emphasis
On the performance of the job and people become secondary, this
situation decreases job satisfaction.
• Considerable leadership
People like to be treated with consideration. Hence
considerable leadership results in higher job satisfaction
• Prestige associated with the job
When the job that carries prestige or social recognition the

worker fells greater pleasure.
• Opportunities for promotion
It is true that individuals seek satisfaction in their jobs in the

context of the job nature and work environment but they also
attach impotence to the opportunities for promotion that these jobs
offer. if the present job offers opportunity of promotion in future,
Provides more satisfaction, if opportunities for such promotion is
lacking, it reduce satisfaction.
• Work group
Individuals work in group either created formally or they

develop on their own to seek emotional satisfaction at the work
place the extent such groups are cohesive the degree of satisfaction
is high, if the group is not cohesive, job satisfaction is low, in a
cohesive group people device satisfaction out of their interpersonal
interaction and work place becomes satisfying leaving to job
satisfaction.
4. Management factors
• Salary.
The salary is related to the job satisfaction. a

employee if he has getting good salary he will satisfy of his work.
• Working condition.
Working conditions, particularly physical work
environment, like conditions of work place and associated facilities
for performing the job determine job satisfaction. These work in
two ways. First, these provide means for job performance. Second
provision of these conditions affects the individual’s perception
about the organization. If these factors are favorable, individuals
experience higher level of job satisfaction.
• Co- worker
The type of co-worker with whom one has to work is

very important in job satisfaction. If co-workers have bad
character, he can’t feel contended. And will try to quit the job.
• Employee moral
High level morale and employee satisfaction reduce

employee grievances, further, satisfied employees follow the
company rules and regulation.
• Physical and mental health.

Though performance and job satisfaction are influenced
by different set of factors, these two can be related if management
links rewards to performance.
Satisfaction strongly influences the productive efficiency
of an organization whereas absenteeism, employee turnover,
alcoholism, irresponsibility are result of job satisfaction, however,
job satisfaction or dissatisfaction forms opinion about the job.
EMPLOYEE SECURITY.
Security is the protection give by society to its members

against contingencies of modern life such as sickness,
unemployment, old age, Invalidity industrial accidents, etc the
basic purpose of social security is to Protest people of small
measure from risks which impair a person’s ability To support
himself and his family. Security is “an attack on five giants that
affect workers- wants disease, ignorance, squalor and idleness.
1 Social insurance
In this scheme a common fund is established with periodical
contributes From workers out of which all benefits in each or kind
are paid the contribution of the workers is nominal which
generally does not exceed their paying capacity. The employees
and the state provide the major portion of the finances.
2 Social assistance
In this case, benefits are offered to persons of small means
by the government out of its general revenues. It is the state
which takes the load In offering certain benefits to common
people. Workers and employees do not contribute to such
benefits in any manner.

REVIEW OF LITERATURE
Review of literature has been an integrate part of research

work because it provides ideas, theories on meaning, explanation,
evaluation in suggestions related to the study.
The review of literature helps the researcher to get an

adequate familiarity with the existing literature related to the study.
It very important and useful aspect of research programme. The
researcher has to acquire up to date information about the particular
subject of his research study.
Edwin A. Locke’s Range of Affect Theory (1976) is

arguably the most famous job satisfaction model. The main
premise of this theory is that satisfaction is determined by a
discrepancy between what one wants in a job and what one has in a
job. Further, the theory states that how much one values a given
facet of work (e.g. the degree of autonomy in a position) moderates
how satisfied/dissatisfied one becomes when expectations
are/aren’t met. When a person values a particular facet of a job, his
satisfaction is more greatly impacted both positively (when
expectations are met) and negatively (when expectations are not
met), compared to one who doesn’t value that facet. To illustrate, if
Employee A values autonomy in the workplace and Employee B is
indifferent about autonomy, then Employee A would be more
satisfied in a position that offers a high degree of autonomy and
less satisfied in a position with little or no autonomy compared to
Employee B. This theory also states that too much of a particular
facet will produce stronger feelings of dissatisfaction the more a
worker values that facet.
A significant model that narrowed the scope of the

Dispositional Theory was the Core Self-evaluations Model,
proposed by Timothy A. Judge in 1998. Judge argued that there
are four Core Self-evaluations that determine one’s disposition
towards job satisfaction: self-esteem, general self-efficacy, locus
of control, and neuroticism. This model states that higher levels
of self-esteem (the value one places on his/her self) and general
self-efficacy (the belief in one’s own competence) lead to higher
work satisfaction. Having an internal locus of control (believing
one has control over her\his own life, as opposed to outside forces
having control) leads to higher job satisfaction. Finally, lower
levels of neuroticism lead to higher job satisfaction.
Frederick Herzberg’s two factor theory (also known as

Motivator Hygiene Theory) attempts to explain satisfaction and
motivation in the workplace this theory states that satisfaction and
dissatisfaction are driven by different factors – motivation and
hygiene factors, respectively. Motivating factors are those aspects
of the job that make people want to perform, and provide people
with satisfaction, for example achievement in work, recognition,
promotion opportunities. These motivating factors are considered
to be intrinsic to the job, or the work carried out. Hygiene factors
include aspects of the working environment such as pay, company
policies, supervisory practices, and other working conditions.
While Hertzberg's model has stimulated much research,

researchers have been unable to reliably empirically prove the
model, with Hackman & Oldham suggesting that Hertzberg's
original formulation of the model may have been a methodological
artifact. Furthermore, the theory does not consider individual
differences, conversely predicting all employees will react in an
identical manner to changes in motivating/hygiene factors. Finally,
the model has been criticised in that it does not specify how
motivating/hygiene factors are to be measured.
Hackman & Oldham proposed the Job Characteristics

Model, which is widely used as a framework to study how
particular job characteristics impact on job outcomes, including job
satisfaction. The model states that there are five core job
characteristics (skill variety, task identity, task significance,
autonomy, and feedback) which impact three critical psychological
states (experienced meaningfulness, experienced responsibility for
outcomes, and knowledge of the actual results), in turn influencing
work outcomes (job satisfaction, absenteeism, work motivation,
etc.). The five core job characteristics can be combined to form a
motivating potential score (MPS) for a job, which can be used as
an index of how likely a job is to affect an employee's attitudes and
behaviors----. A meta-analysis of studies that assess the
framework of the model provides some support for the validity of
the JCM.
Job satisfaction has been defined as a pleasurable
emotional state resulting from the appraisal of one’s job; an
affective reaction to one’s job; and an attitude towards one’s
job. Weiss (2002) has argued that job satisfaction is an attitude but
points out that researchers should clearly distinguish the objects of
cognitive evaluation which are affect (emotion), beliefs and
behaviors. This definition suggests that we form attitudes towards
our jobs by taking into account our feelings, our beliefs, and our
behaviors.
One of the biggest preludes to the study of job satisfaction

was the Hawthorne studies. These studies (1924-1933),
primarily credited to Elton Mayo of the Harvard Business
School, sought to find the effects of various conditions (most
notably illumination) on workers’ productivity. These studies
ultimately showed that novel changes in work conditions
temporarily increase productivity (called the Hawthorne Effect). It
was later found that this increase resulted, not from the new
conditions, but from the knowledge of being observed. This
finding provided strong evidence that people work for purposes
other than pay, which paved the way for researchers to investigate
other factors in job satisfaction.
Scientific management (aka Taylorism) also had a
significant impact on the study of job satisfaction. Frederick
Winslow Taylor’s 1911 book, Principles of Scientific
Management, argued that there was a single best way to perform
any given work task. This book contributed to a change in
industrial production philosophies, causing a shift from skilled
labor and piecework towards the more modern approach of
assembly lines and hourly wages. The initial use of scientific
management by industries greatly increased productivity because
workers were forced to work at a faster pace. However, workers
became exhausted and dissatisfied, thus leaving researchers with
new questions to answer regarding job satisfaction. It should also
be noted that the work of W.L. Bryan, Walter Dill Scott, and
Hugo Munsterberg set the tone for Taylor’s work.
Some argue that Maslow’s hierarchy of needs theory, a

motivation theory, laid the foundation for job satisfaction theory.
This theory explains that people seek to satisfy five specific needs
in life – physiological needs, safety needs, social needs, self-
esteem needs, and self-actualization. This model served as a good
basis from which early researchers could develop job satisfaction
theories.
Measuring job satisfaction
There are many methods for measuring job satisfaction. By

far, the most common method for collecting data regarding job
satisfaction is the Likert scale (named after Rensis Likert). Other
less common methods of for gauging job satisfaction include:
Yes/No questions, True/False questions, point systems, checklists,
and forced choice answers. This data is typically collected using an
Enterprise Feedback Management (EFM) system.
The Job Descriptive Index (JDI), created by Smith,

Kendall, & Hulin (1969), is a specific questionnaire of job
satisfaction that has been widely used. It measures one’s
satisfaction in five facets: pay, promotions and promotion
opportunities, coworkers, supervision, and the work itself. The
scale is simple, participants answer either yes, no, or can’t decide
(indicated by ‘?’) in response to whether given statements
accurately describe one’s job.
The Job in General Index is an overall measurement of job

satisfaction. It is an improvement to the Job Descriptive Index
because the JDI focuses too much on individual facets and not
enough on work satisfaction in general.
. Job satisfaction is defined as "an individual's reaction to

the job experience" (Berry, 1997). There are various components
that are considered to be vital to job satisfaction. These variables
are important because they all influence the way a person feels
about their job. These components include the following: pay,
promotion, benefits, supervisor, co-workers, work conditions,
communication, safety, productivity, and the work itself. Each of
these factors figures into an individual’s job satisfaction
differently. One might think that pay is considered to be the most
important component in job satisfaction, although this has not been
found to be true. Employees are more concerned with working in
an environment they enjoy.
Landy in His theory is known as the opponent process

theory. He suggested that the primary reaction (the immediate
emotional response) combined with the secondary reaction (the
later emotional response) creates a stabilized equilibrium which
results in job satisfaction.
Lawler. ‘‘Lawler believed that job satisfaction was driven
by a motivational framework. This idea deals with how a person
measures job satisfaction based on what they got verses what they
feel they deserved. Satisfaction is determined by the difference
between the exact amount a person received and what they
expected. Therefore, dissatisfaction occurs when a person receives
less or more than what was expected’’.
Job Satisfaction Survey
February 29 2008 - A survey by The Segal Company, a New

York-based compensation, benefits and HR consultancy found that
state and local public sector workers under age 40 focused more on
career (job security, opportunities, and training) than their older
colleagues and were also more likely to actively look for work
elsewhere.
Elliot Susseles, senior vice president of the Segal
Company, said:
"The study found that the biggest driver of turnover for

employees under 40 is dissatisfaction with career opportunities and
job content. This suggests the importance of establishing and
communicating career path opportunities, work development and
interesting work assignments to successfully recruit and retain
younger employees."
Both age groups had similar concerns about pay and benefits
but, as has been traditional for government employees, pay
remains less important than benefits for all workers, regardless of
age. Nevertheless, satisfaction levels for pay and career were low
for both age groups. Segal consider that these findings reflect the
challenge of attracting and keeping new talent in state and local
public service.
Showing up for the Paycheck
A report by The Conference Board in 2005 showed a decline

in job satisfaction among workers of all ages and across all income
brackets in the US workforce.
Half of all Americans surveyed at the time said they were
satisfied with their jobs, but this was down from nearly 60% ten
years before. Moreover, among the 50% who said they were
content, a mere 14% said they are "very satisfied."
The representative sample of 5,000 U.S. households, conducted for
The Conference Board by TNS, a leading market information
company, also included information collected independently by
TNS. This information showed that approximately one-quarter of
the American workforce was simply "showing up to collect a
paycheck."
"Rapid technological changes, rising productivity demands

and changing employee expectations have all contributed to the
decline in job satisfaction," says Lynn Franco, Director of The
Conference Board's Consumer Research Center. "As large
numbers of baby boomers prepare to leave the workforce, they will
be increasingly replaced by younger workers, who tend to be as
dissatisfied with their jobs, but have different attitudes and
expectations about the role of work in their lives. This transition
will present a new challenge for employers."
The survey found a decline in job satisfaction across all income
brackets in the previous nine years. 55% of workers earning more
than $50,000 were satisfied with their jobs, but only 14% claimed
they were very satisfied. At the other end of the pay scale
(employees earning less than $15,000), about 45% of workers were
satisfied with only 17% expressing a strong level of satisfaction.
The survey also found that employees were least satisfied
with their companies' bonus plans, promotion policies, health plans
and pensions. The majority were most satisfied with their
commutes to work and their relationships with colleagues.
"Less than one-third of all supervisors and managers are
perceived to be strong leaders," says Shubhra Ramchandani, North
American Stakeholder Management Practice Leader at TNS. "The
Enron/WorldCom era of corporate scandals and the outsourcing of
jobs have increased the level of employee discontent. Shrugging
off employee disengagement would be a disastrous, short- sighted
view creating lasting global repercussions for American business."
Job Satisfaction - by Age, Income and Region
* The largest decline in overall job satisfaction, from 60.9%
to 49.2%, occurred among workers 35-44.
* The second largest decline took place among workers aged
45-54, with the satisfaction level dropping from 57.3% to 47.7%.
* The smallest decline occurred among workers 65 and over.
Overall job satisfaction declined from 60.8% to 58.0%, making
this group the most satisfied with their jobs.
* The largest decline in job satisfaction took place among
householders earning $25,000 to $35,000, with satisfaction falling
from 55.7% to 41.4%. This income group expressed the second
lowest level of overall satisfaction.
* The second largest decline was posted by householders
earning $35,000- $50,000. This group experienced a decline from
59.7% to 46.7%.
* With less than 47% of householders claiming to be satisfied
with their current job, workers in the Middle Atlantic and
Mountain states are the least satisfied workers in the U.S.
* The East South Central region has the most content
workers. Close to 59% of residents in these states claim they are
satisfied with their jobs.
* Company promotion policies and bonus plans tended to be
the lowest on the satisfaction scale.
* Educational and job training programs did not fare well
either. Only 30% of workers claimed to be satisfied with these
types of company programs.
* Workers also rated their wages poorly, with only 33.5% of
householders expressing satisfaction with their pay.
Additional results from the supplemental survey conducted by
TNS in August 2004 include:
* 40% of workers feel disconnected from their employers.
* Two out of every three workers do not identify with or feel
motivated to drive their employer's business goals and objectives.
* 25% of employees are just "showing up to collect a
paycheck."
