A Study on Employee Job Satisfaction in Different Sectors

Job satisfaction is considered as an important issue where efforts are taken and programs are initiated to fulfil it. The factors which influence the satisfaction of the employee are level of pay, promotions, type of working conditions, work load and stress level, respect from co-workers, good relationship with supervisors, financial rewards. By safeguarding these factors the company can ensure the job satisfaction of the employee, thereby improve the productivity and grow into a successful organization. In case if employee is unsatisfied with the present job there are chances for more absents, low turnover, less productivity, deliberately doing mistakes, diverting interest for other conflicts. Any kind of dissatisfaction relating to organizational or personal life will influence on the job performance.
