25. Theories of job satisfaction
Job Satisfaction
Job satisfaction is the level of contentment
employees feel about their work , which can affect job
performance.
Job satisfaction is the extent of positive feelings and
attitudes that individuals have towards their jobs.
26. Theories of job satisfaction
There are several different theories of job
satisfaction to understand what makes
people satisfied with their jobs.
The four influential theories are given below:
The Facet Model of Job Satisfaction.
Herzberg’s Motivator-Hygiene Theory of Job
Satisfaction.
The Discrepancy Model of Job Satisfaction.
The Steady State of Job Satisfaction.
27. The Facet Model of job satisfaction
The facet model of job satisfaction focuses on work
situation factors by breaking a job into its
component elements and then determines how the
employee is satisfied with each facet ,
Job facets that play an important role to determine the job
satisfaction.
Some facets are :
*Ability Utilization *Compensation *Coworkers
*Responsibility *Working Conditions *Independence
*Authority *Security *Creativity
*Social Service
28. Herzberg’sTheory of job satisfaction
Herzberg’s states that there are two sets of needs
Motivator needs: I.e.: Opportunities for personal
growth,Promotion,Recognition.
Hygiene needs: i.e. Working conditions,Job security.
These theory states that an employee could be satisfied and
dissatisfied at the same time with his job.
1. When motivator needs are met,employees will be
satisfied;when these needs are not met, employees
will not be satisfied.
2. When hygiene needs are met,employees will not be
dissatisfied;when these needs are not met,
employees will be dissatisfied.
29. The Discrepancy Model
The discrepancy model explains that when
employees have high expectations of their jobs and
those expectations are not met, they will be
dissatisfied.
The Steady state theory suggests that each
employee has a typical,or characteristic,level of job
satisfaction,called the steady state or equilibrium
level

POTENTIAL CONSEQUENCES OF JOB
SATISFACTION
31. Job Performance
Intuitively, most people (including managers) believe that job
satisfaction is positively associated with job performance—that
is, that employees more satisfied with their jobs will perform at a
higher level than those less satisfied.
33. Organizational Commitment
Organizational commitment is the level to which workers show a
strong willingness to stay in their company. They have the desire to
work hard towards the success of their organization.
Beside these, job satisfaction also affects on:
It promotes harmonious employee’s relation.
It helps to improve the image of the organization.
34. Absenteeism
•Absenteeism can be very costly for organizations. It is estimated that
approximately 1 million employees a day are absent from their jobs. In
a year, absenteeism costs companies in the United States
approximately $40 billion.
35. • Research focusing on this question has indicated that job satisfaction
has a weak negative relationship with absenteeism: Employees satisfied
with their jobs are somewhat less likely to be absent.
• Richard Steers and Susan Rhodes have provided a model of
absenteeism that helps explain these results.They propose that
employee attendance is a function not only of their motivation to go to
work but also of their ability to attend
Motivation to Attend Work
Is Affected by
Ability to Attend Work
Is Affected by
•Job satisfaction
•Organization’s absence policy
•Other factors
•Illness and accidents
•Transportation problems
•Family responsibilities
Determinants of Absence from Work
37. •Turnover is the permanent withdrawal of an employee from
the employing organization. Job satisfaction shows a weak-
to-moderate negative relationship to turnover, that is, high
job satisfaction leads to low turnover
•.According to a model of the turnover process developed by Bill Mobley,
job satisfaction triggers the whole turnover process employees very
satisfied with their jobs may never even think about quitting; for those who
are dissatisfied, it is the dissatisfaction that starts them thinking about
quitting.
38.
39. Job Stress
•When employees are not happy with their jobs, they are much more
likely to experience and report stress on the job. Workers who are
satisfied or happy at work are much less likely to report feeling stressed
out by their job.
40. Topic to be covered:
• Organizational
Citizenship Behavior
• Employee Well-Being
42. For Examples
OCB include helping co-workers; protecting the
organization from fire, theft, vandalism, and other
misfortunes; making constructive suggestions;
developing one’s skills and capabilities; and
spreading goodwill in the larger community.
43. Employee Well-Being
Employee well-being
how happy, healthy,
and prosperous
employees are, is the
last potential
consequence of job
satisfaction we
consider. Unlike
absenteeism and
turnover, this
consequence focuses
on the employee
rather than the
organization.
44. For Example
If you count the number of hours of their adult lives that
employees spend on the job, the number is truly mind-
blowing. An employee who puts in an 8-hour day, works 5
days a week, and has 2 weeks off a year for vacation works
approximately 2,000 hours a year. Over a 40-year period
(from age 25 to 65), this employee clocks in some 80,000
hours on the job. Being dissatisfied with one’s job for a major
portion of one’s working life almost certainly affects well-
being and general happiness. Consistent with this
observation, research suggests that job satisfaction
contributes to overall well-being in life.
45. Organizational Commitment
Whereas job satisfaction relates to feelings and beliefs that
individuals have about specific jobs, Organizational
commitment relates to feelings and beliefs about the
employing organization as a whole. Researchers have identified
two distinct types of organizational commitment:
1.Affective commitment
2.Continuance commitment.
46. AFFECTIVE COMMITMENT
The commitment that exists when employees are happy to be
members of an organization, believe in and feel good about the
organization and what it stands for, are attached to the
organization, and intend to do what is good for the organization.
CONTINUANCE COMMITMENT
The commitment that exists when it is very costly for
employees to leave an organization.
47. Potential Consequences of Affective
Commitment
Affective commitment (like job satisfaction) may be
more highly related to organizational citizenship
behavior (OCB). Because these behaviors are voluntary,
they tend to be more directly related to employees’
attitudes toward an organization. When affective
commitment is high, employees are likely to want to do
what is good for the organization and, thus, perform
OCBs.144 However, when continuance commitment is
high, employees are not expected to go above and
beyond the call of duty because their commitment is
based more on necessity than a belief in what the
organization stands for.
