WORK SATISFACTION!

Job satisfaction is not only about how much an employee enjoys work. It is found that when employees is rated how much they enjoyed individual tasks within their role, their scores were moderately correlated to satisfaction with the work itself and associated with global satisfaction. This demonstrates that the accumulating enjoyment of work tasks added up to overall job satisfaction.

It is reported that for the first time in several years, the number of employees who say they are satisfied with their current job took a big jump, according to employee job satisfaction and engagement report by the society for SHRM. The improving economy was one factor in the high level of satisfaction, since employers have been more willing and able to boost salaries, benefits and perks for their workers. Additionally, as the labour market stabilised, job seekers took advantage of new opportunities for positions that best fit their skills and interests.

Most organisations strive for employee satisfaction, but not all attain this goal. That's why it's important for HR professionals, managers, leaders to know more about factors that can increase employee satisfaction and how it fits into an organisational' overall success. Some of the factors includes respect, trust, security, healthy environment, career path, pay and benefits.Satisfied employees are the ones who work religiously, they do not work out of any compulsion but because they dream of taking their organisation to a new level.

Employee satisfaction leads to a positive ambiance at the workplace, people seldom crib or complain and concentrate more on their work. No amount of training or motivation would help unless and until individuals develops a feeling of attachment and loyalty towards their organisation. Employees waste half of their times fighting with their counter parts or sorting out issues with them, however those satisfied with their jobs seldom have the time to indulge in nasty office politics.

They tend to ignore things and do not even have the time to indulge in nasty office politics. They tend to ignore things and do not even have time to crib or fight with others. Satisfied employee are those that are happy employees who are willing to help their fellow workers and cooperate with the organisation even during crisis also work hard together as a single unit to overcome challenges and come out of the situation as soon as possible, these sort of people don't come to the organisation for the money but because they really feel for the organisation and believe in its goals and objectives, they also spread positives word of mouth and always stand by each other instead wasting their times gossiping and loitering around they believe in doing productive work benefiting the organisation.

It is also noticed that satisfied employees tend to adjust more and handle pressure with ease as compared to frustrated ones. Employees who are not satisfied with their jobs would find a problem in every small thing and be too rigid. They find it extremely difficult to compromise or cope up with the changing times. They often bad mouth their organisation and also warn friends and acquaintances not to join the same.

On the other hand, employees who are happy with their jobs willing to participate in training programs and are eager to learn new things which will eventually help them in their career. Meaning those satisfied accept challenges with a BIG SMILE (my type) and deliver even in the worst of circumstances.
