Limelight on job satisfaction was brought by Hop pock in 1935. He reviewed 32 studies
on job satisfaction. Prior of 1933 the job satisfaction is combination of psychological,
physiological and environmental circumstances that course to say truthfully that “I am
satisfied with my job.”
The success of any organization depends on the effective utilization and motivation of
human resources.
Job satisfaction is derived from the Latin words “Satis” and “facere”, which means
“enough and to do” respectively. Job satisfaction refers to an employee’s general attitude
towards his job.
Situational Factor.
Individual Characteristics.
Group and social relationship outside the job.
Job satisfaction is the ultimate function of all these and many individual attitudes put
together. Many thinkers consider it a collective force and not a unitary phenomenon.
Every individual has some needs and desires that need to be fulfilled. Any job, which
fulfils these needs, provides satisfaction. Satisfaction is one’s contentment job that
induces motivation and interest in work, which creates pleasure or happiness from job.
Hence satisfaction plays a vital role in every aspect of individual’s life, without
satisfaction in life it becomes very difficult to survive.
MEANING
The term job satisfaction refers to an employee’s general attitude towards his job.
Theories
There are vital differences among experts about the concept of job satisfaction.
Basically, there are four approaches/ theories of job satisfaction.
They are:
1. Fulfilment theory
2. Discrepancy theory
3. Equity theory
4. Two-factor theory
The main aim of this theory is to measure satisfaction in terms of rewards a person
receives or the extent to which his needs are satisfied. Job satisfaction cannot be
regarded merely as a function of how much a person receives from his job but it is the
strength of the individual’s desire of his level of aspiration in a particular area.
The main difficulty in his approach as observed by willing is that job satisfaction is not
only a function of what a person receives but also what he feels he should receive, as
there would be considerable difference in the actual and expectations of persons.
The proponents of this theory is that satisfaction is the function of what a person actually
receives from his job satisfaction and what he thanks receives or expects to receive.
This approach does not make it clear whether or not over satisfaction is a part of
dissatisfaction and if so, how it differs from dissatisfaction.
The proponents of this theory are of the view that a person’s satisfaction
determined by his perceived equity which in from is determined by his input-output
balance when compared to others input-output balance. Input-output balance is the
perceived ratio of what a person received from his job relative to what he contributes to
the job.
(4) Two-Factor Theory
This theory was developed by Herzberg, Manusner, Paterson and Capwell who
identified certain factors as satisfiers and dissatisfies.
Factors such as achievement, recognition responsibility etc., are satisfiers, the presence
of which causes satisfaction but their absence does not result in dissatisfaction on the
other hand the factors such as supervision salary, working conditions etc. are dis-
satisfiers the absence of which cause dissatisfaction however their presence does not
result in job satisfaction.
This theory is considered invalid as a person can get both satisfaction and dissatisfaction
at the same time.
1. Organization variables:
i. Occupational Level: The higher the level of the job, the greater the satisfaction of the
individuals. This is because, higher level of jobs carry greater prestige and self-control.
This relationship between occupational level and job satisfaction stems from social
reference group theory in our society values some jobs more than others. Hence people
in values like them more than those who are in non-valued jobs. The relationship may
also stem from the need fulfilment theory.
ii. Job content: Greater the variation in job content and less the repetitiveness with
which the tasks must be performed, the greater the satisfaction of the individuals
involved. Since job content in terms of variety and nature of tasks called for is a
function of occupational level. The theoretical arguments given above apply
here also.
iv. Pay and Promotional opportunities: All other things being equal these two
variables are positively related to job satisfaction.
v. Interaction among Employees: Here the question is, when interaction in the
work group is a source of job satisfaction and when it is not.
Interaction is more satisfying when:
a) It results in the cognition that other person’s attitudes are similar to ones own since, this
permits are ready calculability of the others behaviour and constitutes a validation of
one’s self.
b) It results in being accepted by other and
c) It facilitates and achievement of goals.
2. Personal Variables
For some people, it appears that most jobs will be dissatisfying irrespective of the organizational
conditions, where for other most jobs will be satisfying personal variable for this difference.
i) Age
iv) Sex
