| Summary: | Job satisfaction is a general attitude towards an individual's current job and organization that encompasses the feelings, beliefs, and thoughts about that job. Job satisfaction is likely the most studied attitude in organizational behavior (Cranny, Smith, and Stone). Most people believe that job satisfaction is closely associated with performance and numerous other important work behaviors, including absenteeism, turnover, and organizational citizenship behavior. Employees' job satisfaction is both a goal in itself and a proxy for an organization's capacity to retain and motivate its employees (Fisher and Locke; Locke).
Job satisfaction has been studied in many different ways and theories on job satisfaction are numerous, including theories of motivation and organizational behavior that have been interpreted as theories of job satisfaction in various empirical studies (for a historical overview see Locke; for a more recent discussion, see Cranny, Smith, and Stone). In the practice of human resource management, the theory of motivation and job satisfaction put forth by Herzberg, Mausner, and Snyderman (see also Herzberg 1966), widely know as Herzberg's theory, has been very influential and underlies many current management guidelines. The continuing broad interest of management practice in Herzberg's theory has been underlined by a recent republication in the Harvard Business Review's "Ideas with Impact" series (Herzberg 2003). |
