Job Satisfaction – Assessment

Are you happy with the kind of work you do? Do you drag yourself to work everyday? Are you satisfied with your job or is it a question that you would not want to be asked? Bearing in mind that we spend most of our day at the workplace I personally feel that one should not be stuck in a job that does not yield contentment. I have listed a few aspects that might help you to assess your level of job satisfaction.

Shea Heaver Although many companies acknowledge the trend in unsatisfied workers, very few offer more than lip service to try and counter the declining rate of satisfaction.

Rather than just talk about it, companies should make it the responsibility of departmental heads and team leaders to engage the employees and find out what the major sources of unrest are - and then initiate a program to address these issues.

Generally employee dissatisfaction is driven by much, much more than just salary and workload.

Many activities and occurrences can help increase satisfaction at work...

- If an employee feels valued he/she is more productive, happier, less stressed and more enthusiastic about work and life in general.

- Ownership is about taking personal responsibility and accountability for producing results and having needs come to fruition rather than expecting mangers to assign responsibility and know those needs and how to meet them.

- Feedback is probably the most powerful, yet under-used and ill-used management tool. In a culture where openness is valued, feedback should be a regular occurrence and staff will feel more motivated, involved and willing to contribute. Without feedback people are 'blind' and will work on their own assumptions of how they are performing to meet business needs.

- Motivation is the inner desire to take action. Motivating others is getting them to do what you need them to do because they want to do it! Generally motivation stems from some form of self-interest. There usually needs to be some form of reward or benefit for the individual or team, otherwise they will not be motivated to act. It can come in many forms such as a simple thank you, increased responsibility or a financial incentive.

- Openness is the ability to talk freely about needs, feelings and concerns. It is also being receptive to new ideas, enquiry and feedback. Sharing information, feelings and concerns is a primary key in any venture, activity or project involving more than one person. Openness also ensures that people are kept informed of issues as they arise and that everyone receives current knowledge about an ever-changing situation.


These are just a few ways of working towards becoming a better place to work and retaining, (engaged and passionate), employees. This should be an ongoing exercise and not something that happens every few years when suddenly companies realize they are losing their best talent.

It simply makes sense to reap the benefits of increased job satisfaction and improved performance.		 9/4/2007

nora assessment on job satisfaction will greatly help managers or leaders of an organization in evaluating the organization's policies. taking this for granted will surely lead to ineffectiveness of the organization in achieving its desired goals. 5/6/2005
