the importance of job satisfaction

Multi-Faceted Job Satisfaction
Is your organization experiencing employee turnover, absenteeism, grievances, sabotage, or tardiness? While these appear to be problems within themselves, they can actually be the symptoms of a much bigger issue: a lack of job satisfaction!

What is Job Satisfaction? 
Job satisfaction encompasses the perceptions that people have about their job or position within a company. Job satisfaction is a complex, multi-faceted (multi-part) concept that involves various features such as:

• The nature of the work performed
• Compensation
• Opportunities for advancement within the company
• Perceptions of outside opportunities
• Management’s relationship and communication with employees
• Work conditions
• Social relationships

(Aziri, 2011)

There are many factors of job satisfaction that can be monitored and measured, and if any are neglected, they can result in negative outcomes such as job dissatisfaction.  Alpha Omega Associates is here to help. We have the appropriate tools that are needed to measure multi-faceted job satisfaction in your organization, and to identify the root of the problem behind those negative employee behaviors.

Taking the necessary steps to increase satisfaction among your employees will not only reduce those problem areas discussed above (absenteeism, grievances, tardiness, etc.), it will increase motivation and organizational commitment among your employees (Aziri, 2011).
The payoffs don’t stop there! Increasing employee motivation and commitment to the organization will inevitably ensure that your employees are more productive, and that they are not searching for opportunities elsewhere. This allows them to remain engaged in their work, and use their skills and experience to better your organizational outcomes.
