Job Satisfaction

Job Satisfaction

Job satisfaction refers to the overall sense of contentment a person feels about their work.

Details

Job satisfaction refers to the positive emotions and attitudes a person holds toward their job. Various factors influence it, including the nature of the work, compensation, opportunities for promotion, relationships with colleagues, leadership from supervisors, and the work environment.

When job satisfaction is high, employees tend to have lower intentions to leave, higher performance, and greater overall life satisfaction. According to Herzberg's Two-Factor Theory, both hygiene factors (such as salary and working conditions) and motivator factors (such as achievement, recognition, and growth) play important roles.
