As human Beings in the present world the main
source of survival for the source which helps each and every individual to be
civilized in this society is the “Job, Occupation” they
are handling. In our lives some of us find the dream job we wanted to have and
some of us find the least expected job as the survival method (Shaju & Subhashini, 2017) . When you find the
least expected job some of us tend to let go of it and find a new carrier that we are dreaming to have while some of
us decide to stuck in the same job forever. The longer we stay in a least
expected job the
amount of the
dissatisfaction and the frustration we have on our life is more. Sometimes our dream job can be frustrating
too. If you do not tend to change the dissatisfaction nature of your job then
the day to today work life will end up been a night mare to you. So what is important is to find way to make
ourselves happy or adjusted to the work that we are doing in a proper way.
As mentioned by Fairbrother & Warn, (2003)In general there can be many factors
which are related to the job make us satisfied to be in the organization for a
long time and they are;
·
Compensation and Benefits
·
Work Environment

Impact of the job on the personal life
When you choose a job it is important for us
to think to which extent we need the job and to what extent it matches with
what we desire to achieve in our lives. Figuring out this will help you to
choose clear carrier path in your life. When you decide that there are several factors that
you need to consider when finding a proper job that makes you happy and serves
the purpose of your life. Below are some of the factors you need to consider on
deciding the job that makes you happyDue to the importance it has on the employees’ life both organizations and employees tend to concern on this factor before they select what occupation they want to do and what type of people they want to have in the company to work for them. Therefore, it can be mentioned that Job Satisfaction can be defined as one of the important factors of the employees’ life cycle and also to remain motivated and loyal to the organization they are working.

ReplyDeleteI think generation gap is very important factor to job satisfactions. So what are the modern approaches to overcome this.
ReplyDeleteHi Buddhima,I do not think job satisfaction is an important factor that depends on the generation gap. Because there is a generational gap in any organization and we can minimize the impact of these two on job satisfaction by respecting each other by adjusting our discipline.

ReplyDeleteHi Hasangani, Yes you are right, Without a good rapport between management and employees, it will directly affect employee job satisfaction.

hi Shiran,I think the work environment is more important. Because the work environment is a basic requirement before receiving compensation and benefits.

ReplyDeleteHi sandun, I think the employee should develop a positive attitude and the employer should improve the factors needed to improve employee satisfaction. Combining these two methods will give the employee maximum job satisfaction.
