INTRODUCTION
Employee satisfaction, also known as job satisfaction, is a crucial concept in human resource
management and organizational psychology. It refers to the degree to which employees feel
content, fulfilled, and gratified with their work, work environment, and their relationships within
the organization. Employee satisfaction encompasses various aspects of the work experience,
including job tasks, compensation, work-life balance, the organizational culture, relationships
with colleagues and supervisors, opportunities for growth and development, and overall job
conditions. It is a multidimensional construct that reflects not only an employee's happiness but
also their engagement, motivation, and commitment to their role and the organization.
High levels of employee satisfaction are often associated with a range of positive outcomes for
both employees and organizations. Satisfied employees tend to be more productive, creative, and
innovative. They are also more likely to remain with their current employer, reducing turnover
and associated recruitment costs. Furthermore, they contribute to a positive work atmosphere,
which can enhance teamwork, collaboration, and the overall reputation of the organization as an
employer of choice. Therefore, understanding and managing employee satisfaction is vital for
fostering a productive, engaged, and loyal workforce, ultimately contributing to an organization's
success and competitiveness.
Employee satisfaction, a pivotal aspect of human resource management, is an indicator of the
overall well-being and contentment of employees within an organization. It reflects the extent to
which employees find their work meaningful, fulfilling, and aligned with their personal and
professional aspirations. Employee satisfaction encompasses various dimensions, including job
security, compensation, workplace relationships, opportunities for growth, recognition, and the
overall work environment. It goes beyond mere job contentment to encapsulate an employee's
emotional connection to their role, colleagues, and the organization as a whole.
A high level of employee satisfaction offers several advantages to organizations. It tends to result
in increased employee morale and motivation, leading to greater productivity and creativity.
Satisfied employees are more likely to exhibit loyalty, reduced absenteeism, and lower turnover
rates, saving organizations substantial recruitment and training costs. Moreover, a satisfied
workforce can positively impact an organization's reputation as an employer of choice, attracting
top talent in the competitive job market.
Effective employee satisfaction measurement and management strategies are essential for
organizations seeking to optimize their human capital, foster a positive workplace culture, and
ultimately achieve their strategic goals. Consequently, understanding and addressing employee
satisfaction is not only a matter of organizational well-being but also a strategic imperative in
today's dynamic business landscape.

INTRODUCTION TO JOB SATISFACTION LEVEL OF THE
EMPLOYEES
Job satisfaction is one of the important factors that have drawn attention of managers in the
organization as well as academicians. Various studies have been conducted to find out the factors
which determine job satisfaction and they way way it influences productivity in the organization.
Though there is no conclusive evidence that job satisfaction effects productivity directly because
productivity depends on so many variables it is still a prime concern for managers. Job
satisfaction is the amount of pleasure or contentment associated with a job. If you like your job
intensely, you satisfaction. Experience high job satisfaction. If you dislike your job intensely,
you will experience job dissatisfaction. Job satisfaction is the favorableness with which
employees view their work. As with motivation, it is affected by the environment. Job
satisfaction is impacted by job design. Jobs that are rich in positive behavioral elements – such as
autonomy, variety, task identity, task significance and feedback contribute to employee’s
satisfaction. Likewise, orientation is important because the employee’s acceptance by the work
group contributes to satisfaction. In sort, each element of the environmental system, can add to,
or detract from, job satisfaction.
45
46
10 Factors That Determine Your Employees’ Satisfaction Levels
There’s no one definition of job satisfaction, and factors contributing to it will depend on the
nature of your workplace. For example, a satisfied employee in the manufacturing sector looks
different from a satisfied software developer. However, there are ten traits that every workplace
geared toward employee well-being and satisfaction will have in common.
47
Employees need regular feedback (both positive and constructive) to know that they are on the
right track.
Also, they want to share their opinions with managers/HR/senior management to guide the future
of the company. This culture of two-way feedback is essential to maintaining employee
satisfaction. It is doubly necessary for you to act on the feedback you receive.
6. Where do you stand on the issue of work-life balance?
Companies must try to build a non-toxic culture of high performance, where productivity isn’t
prioritized over well-being. Positive work-life balance is integral to this.
As per the 2019 Workplace Happiness Report by UdemyOpens a new window , work-life
balance adds meaning to the job for 37% of professionals. Mandatory work-from-home days,
paid time off, and flexible working benefits are great ways to help employees achieve this.
7. How do employees rate their relationships with their reporting heads?
We have all heard the axiom that employees don’t quit jobs, they quit bosses. And this is
confirmed by studies – a poll by Gallup found that 75% of voluntary attrition can be attributed to
the behavior of immediate supervisors and not the job itself.
Again, targeted job satisfaction surveys (implemented on a team-by-team basis) can help root
this out.
8. Does your organization follow fair and inclusive policies?
Diversity and inclusion in the workplace have a positive impact on the business bottom line,
while also improving a company’s culture and work environment. By ensuring fairness toward
all your employees, regardless of age, gender, or disability, you can increase the average level of
satisfaction across the company.
In other words, job satisfaction shouldn’t be limited to a select few – everyone, across the
company, should experience the same level of well-being.
9. Can employees nurture their creative instincts in their jobs?
While this depends on your specific industry of operation, employees mustn’t be stifled when
showing a spirit of creativity in their jobs.
In fact, learning and development programs can be deployed to strengthen creative skills, making
your company more innovation-friendly. Otherwise, you risk having a workforce that feels
unheard, with the same rules imposed upon them over and over again.
10. Do employees feel secure about their role?
48
Job security is now a major concern as technology upends existing processes, and automation
threatens legacy models of working. As a future-focused employer, you must clearly explain
how an employee’s role will transform over the years and equip them for this change.
Employees shouldn’t feel insecure about their jobs – you can ensure this by maintaining a
consistent line of communication between frontline employees and senior leadership.
49
What Are The Key Reasons For Employee Dissatisfaction
Before proceeding with improving employee satisfaction, it is important to understand the root
causes of why employees are becoming dissatisfied in the first place. We have identified and
listed the main causes of employee dissatisfaction below -
1. Low Compensation:
One of the fundamental reasons employees feel dissatisfied is low compensation. Getting paid
below what they deserve or what industry standards dictate for their role and experience level
can be frustrating. HRs should always consider that -
Stagnant pay that doesn't keep pace with market rates, and
Failure to adjust compensation for high performers can lead to resentment.
An HR professional must ensure that compensation designed for the employees is fair,
competitive, and reflective of the value contributed towards the organization.
Emphasize the organization's non-monetary benefits and perks, such as flexible work
arrangements, professional development opportunities, wellness programs, and positive work
culture. These factors can contribute to overall job satisfaction.
In today’s competitive work environment, employees require to develop new skills. Acquiring
new skills help them to progress in their career.
Insufficient training and advancement opportunities make them feel stuck in dead-end jobs. So, it
is very important for the organization to provide clear paths for career development. An
organization should invest in -
Employee training helps them learn new abilities to take on more responsibility and
grow their careers, leading to greater engagement and satisfaction.
Stretch assignments that help employees with special projects or assignments outside
their daily role and stretch their capabilities.
Mentorship programs that give employees motivation and purpose.
Collectively, these initiatives instill a sense of motivation, purpose, and upward trajectory in
employees' careers.
50
They equip individuals with the skills and confidence to excel in their current roles and position
them for future growth and leadership opportunities within the organization.
3. Poor Management:
There are multiple reasons that create a toxic work environment. Some of these are -
Unresolved conflict,
Lack of trust,
Exclusion,
Favoritism,
Bullying
Organizations must focus on building an inclusive culture of mutual understanding and
addressing unprofessional behavior in the workplace.
51
5. Lack of Appreciation and Recognition:
All employees want their good work and extra efforts recognized. Insufficient praise and reward
make them feel overlooked and undervalued. To address this issue, companies worldwide are
implementing rewards and recognition programs. Implementing regular employee recognition
practices creates positive reinforcement and improves employee satisfaction.
Poor work-life balance can significantly diminish employee satisfaction in the following key
ways:
Overwork and burnout lead to mental and physical exhaustion. Chronic stress negatively
impacts their health and morale.
Lack of downtime from work to relax and recharge can make employees feel drained,
irritable, and unsatisfied.
Heavy work demands that cause employees to miss family commitments, social events,
etc., frequently make them feel resentful and that their personal priorities are not valued.
Health consequences due to high stress, insufficient sleep, and no work-life balance also
affect employee satisfaction.
The overarching impact is that employees believe the organization does not care about their
personal growth, well-being, or priorities outside of work. This severely undermines employee
satisfaction as work comes to be viewed as the enemy of a fulfilling life rather than a contributor.
52
Here are the 9 Best Practices to Keep Employee Satisfaction High
A positive work environment has a significant influence on how the employees feel. The work
environment plays a vital role in keeping employees motivated. It significantly influences his/her
work life. It reflects in the work they do and helps sustain positivity throughout the day.
A positive work environment doesn’t only mean the organizational structure. It is the overall
experience an employee shares with his/her co-workers, immediate supervisors, and company
culture.
Open communication
Building trust
Building healthy work relationships
Listening and promoting equal opportunities
2. Feedback
53
We all need people who will give us feedback. That’s how we improve. – Bill Gates
We all need and crave feedback, and your employees are no different.
Feedback is critical to employee satisfaction, and most managers are uncertain when it comes to
giving feedback. Lack of employee feedback makes the employees unsure about the work and
effort they are putting. Human psychology is complicated, and people can receive the same
message or dialogue differently
Managers should, therefore, master the tricks of giving feedback. The positive effects of
feedback are immense in the workplace. It can build trust and employee satisfaction, motivate
employees, and reduce turnover.
54
3. Rewards and Recognition
According to OfficeTeam’s study, 66% of employees say they would “likely leave their job if
they didn’t feel appreciated.
Each of us has unique skill sets, and we consciously or subconsciously apply those at our jobs. It
is, therefore, rewarding for anybody to be appreciated for the application of these skills. When
employees are rewarded and recognized for their work, it builds employee morale, productivity,
and overall employee satisfaction or job satisfaction.
Organizations often miss out on this psychological aspect. Appreciating and recognizing
employees from time to time keeps employees motivated. This energizes them to thrive to do
better, and outdo themselves. You can also offer valuable benefits and perks to your employees
to boost their morale and job satisfaction.
Work-life balance helps employees to balance their professional and personal lives. Balancing
work-life in today’s world is quite challenging and, many a time, can become burdensome.
55
Employees keep themselves occupied with the different aspects of their personal and
professional lives. And that plays a crucial role in their satisfaction and employee happiness.
Long, tight work schedules and too much workload often make it difficult for them to balance
them.
Management can, therefore, help its employees to bring a balance in work life. Here are some
actionable steps:
When you involve and engage your employees, it builds employee satisfaction. Teams that work
together with involvement are happier and more satisfied. The best way to encourage employees
is to make them fully involved. To hear them out in need. To make them realize they are equally
important and their contribution and hard work are always appreciated.
Work-life can be hectic and burdensome at times. When you involve and engage your employees
deliberately, it reduces employee turnover and enhances employee satisfaction.
56
6. Develop Employee Skills
Helping employees develop their skill sets is also one of the attributes of employee satisfaction.
When you give your employees room to develop their skills, it boosts their job satisfaction and
increases work efficiency. This also signifies that you even care about their career development
along with your organizational growth.
Evaluating if the employees want to learn something new or need any specific training is always
a good practice. The lack of this management approach often makes the employees dissatisfied.
Since they feel they have nothing left to learn.
Many small/big organizations conduct biannual or yearly employee engagement surveys. They
put up questions on the categories like teamwork, feedback, information, work-life
balance, work relationship, self-evaluation, and so on. This is an excellent practice unless it
becomes monotonous or complacent. Since work culture is diverse from one organization to
another, therefore the surveys can be designed accordingly.
57
Let’s say management can put an employee suggestion box to hear employees out anonymously.
Employees can put any simple suggestions they want to make or write anything that bothers
them.
One of the other evaluation practices is one-on-one reviews. This could be very effective in
knowing about employee dissatisfaction and its attributes. Management would, this way, see if
they are satisfied with their jobs. This would allow the employees to talk about their
discontentment, aspirations, and goals. This would foster satisfaction and engagement and what
employees expect from the organization.
8. Employee Well-Being
‘Health is wealth’ is an overused phrase, but it holds true to its meaning. Employers who do not
emphasize employees’ physical, emotional, psychological, and financial well-being build an
inefficient workforce. It is vital to building a work culture for the employees’ well-being needs.
Employees who are healthy and stress-free have better productivity and a greater sense of
responsibility toward their job. The feeling of security keeps them more engaged and dedicated.
Therefore, employers must provide them with corporate wellness programs or sessions and
monitor their behavior to foster a positive culture.
58
You may have best team working for you, but if you do not have goals and objectives in place,
you would slowly kill their enthusiasm. Your team needs directions throughout their work-life
cycle. When an organization fails to provide clear objectives or company values, it leads to
employee dissatisfaction. Employees do not only work for a paycheck. For their satisfaction at
work, they also need direction and a sense of purpose that keeps them going. At the end of the
day, we all want to do meaningful work and make a difference.
59
Characteristics Of A Satisfied Employee
1. Sense of initiative
A happy employee does more than what is expected of him and tries to get satisfaction from
everything he does every single day. Besides the sense of initiative, he also has a clear career
path in mind. He’s on a constant mission to contribute to the growth of your organisation and to
improve your services.
In case of an illness, a satisfied employee will stay at home less often. A simple cold or a
headache will not stop him from going to work. You can count on him whether it concerns
purely professional matters or whether he’s organising a company party. This will of course
contribute to the positive working atmosphere in the office.
A happy employee is proud of his work and as a true brand ambassador, he represents
your company towards the outside world.
He’s emotionally involved, has attention to detail and is willing to make an extra effort to
contribute to your company’s success, even without being asked.
4. Positive attitude
A positive attitude is a clear indication of the fact your employees are happy. You can find out
more about this attitude through open communication. Those who voluntarily and
enthusiastically participate in conversations, consider themselves as fully-fledged members of
your company community.
Satisfied employees often maintain good relationships with their colleagues, which benefits the
work ethic and productivity inside your company. You will notice that a positive atmosphere will
result in friendships that go beyond the working environment.
60
SCOPE
61
Advantage of employee satisfaction
By actively working on satisfaction in the workplace, you end up with employees who are more
engaged, involved, and eager to go the extra mile. This benefits your company in several ways
62
5. In the long term, you can dramatically reduce HR costs
Typically, you need to plan for both fixed and variable costs as part of your HR budget. Low
satisfaction could significantly dent the variable aspect of this equation – dissatisfied employees
require targeted surveys, specialized learning and development, additional career assistance, and
ultimately may lead to rehiring and retraining costs in the case of turnover. All of this needs you
to invest more than you had expected.

assess and adjust their offerings to attract and retain top talent.
67
Work-life balance
Work-life balance is a critical aspect of employee satisfaction and well-being in any
