As most people spend a major part of their adult life at work, job
satisfaction is an important element of individual wellbeing. What factors
contribute to job satisfaction? How realistic is the expectation of job
satisfaction for all workers?
Nowadays many adults have full-time jobs and the proportion of their lives
spent doing such jobs is very high. So feelings about one’s job must reflect how
an individual feels about his or her life as a whole, and because of this, job
satisfaction is indeed very important for the well-being of that person.
Employees get job satisfaction in a number of ways. Firstly, a person needs
to feel that they are doing valued and valuable work, so positive feedback from
superiors is very important in this respect. A sense of fulfillment is also
encouraged if a worker feels the job is worth doing because it contributes to
the society or the economy as a whole. Secondly, when someone feels they are
improving or developing their skills through training opportunities, for
example, then there is a sense of progression and purpose that rewards a worker.
The sense of belonging to a team or a working community also contributes to job
satisfaction because colleagues help each other to enjoy their working lives.
Satisfaction is also increased by a sense of responsibility for and loyalty to a
team.
Of course not everyone enjoys their work. Hard economic realities mean that
many people have little choice in the kind of job they can get. In some cases an
employee is working in a job that suits neither their skills nor their
personality. Some jobs are repetitive and boring, and labour relations may be
poor and lead to resentment and insecurity rather than to job satisfaction.
