Job Satisfaction
As most people spend the majority of their life at work job satisfaction is an important element of everyone’s individual well-being. “Job satisfaction is a positive feeling that one gets about a job resulting from an evaluation of its characteristics (Robbins, S. P., & Judge, T. A. pg. 75, 2013).”The top five factors and why they are important to me would have to be job security, relationship with co-workers, safety with in the work place, compensation / pay, and benefits.
Job security
Job security is important to me so that I can avoid any financial problems in this bad economy that we are living in. Even if we are unsatisfied with our job we have to continue with it. This does not mean do a poor job because this is not a job that you would have chosen. Ultimately most that are unhappy with a job could say that happiness comes only when your needs are fulfilled and priorities are met. My priorities would be paying my bills and providing for my family.
Relationship with Co-workers
My relationship with my co-workers is important to me because if I am going to spend most of my time with them then I need to be able to work with them. I want to know can they help me get the job done. Are they lazy? Do they work with an attitude? Will I enjoy being around them? We need to be able to work together as a team to get the job done correctly and efficiently. Sometimes we find that work can be a little overwhelming. Having a friend at work will allow us to open up during stressful times. By having a relationship with people within the work place it would allow us to celebrate our work-related victories, such as promotions, pay raises, and retirement. Workplace accomplishments can turn into memorable experiences with a group of friends at your side.
Safety
I feel more comfortable in a place where safety is a top priority. I want to be able to go to and leave work safe. For me safety issues and accidents cut down on production time with repairs and employee recovery. If
