    Job satisfaction is an employee's cognitive and affective evaluation of their job. It influences organizational commitment, job withdrawal behaviors like turnover, and work withdrawal behaviors like absenteeism. Satisfied employees are more committed to their organization and less likely to leave. Dissatisfied employees are more likely to be absent, disengaged, and seek to unionize. Factors that influence job satisfaction include pay, promotions, the work itself, coworkers, and supervision. Common measures of job satisfaction are the Minnesota Satisfaction Questionnaire, Job Descriptive Index, and Job In General scale.
