Because of new regulations being recommended by NRB (Central Bank) for expanding four times capital of the banks and financial institutions (BFIs) to make their capital base stronger, BUD Bank has been confronting difficulties of (i) expanding four times its paid capital and (ii) channelizing the credits all the more proficiently and effectively. In the request to adapt to these circumstances, the employees need to expect the basic role by taking a couple of profitable and capable drives. For this, the management needs to review the employees’ present job satisfaction, and its impact on their performance, retention, and turnover for taking appropriate measures for further change on upgrading their execution to extend profitability. It has been endeavoured to audit different articles/ international journals displayed by various specialists/researchers/scholars on the points i.e. job satisfaction, and its impacts on job performance, retention, turnover, and performance evaluation. It is found that JS has the significant relationship with JP, retention, turnover, and performance evaluation. As indicated by authors Locke (1976); Olusola, Funmilola and Sola (2013); and Velnampy and Sivesan (2012), there are six to ten variables of job satisfaction and these have positive impacts on job performance, retention, turnover, and execution assessment. In any case, there are considered six variables (work assigned, salary, promotion, supervision, colleagues, and working environment) of job satisfaction proposed by Locke (1976) for this study. These variables are regular to all types of organisations. Olusola, Funmilola and Sola (2013) find in their study that these six variables of JS have significant positive effect on JP demonstrating the entirely great relationship between JS and JP.

This book was released on 2007 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The issues of trust and job satisfaction have taken on a greater strategic importance in organizations since the post-Enron scandal. Without trust or the lack of it among organizational members and between management and employees, organizational communication, knowledge management, organizational performance, and involvement may tend to close down. Trust has been identified as a crucial ingredient for organizational effectiveness. A linkage between trust and job satisfaction in private organizations has been established by researchers; however, in the U.S. federal government, the linkage between organizational trust and job satisfaction has not yet been studied. This study, therefore, explores the relationship between organizational trust and job satisfaction in seven selected small, medium, and large U.S. federal agencies. This study indicated that there are no significant differences between males and females, however, significant differences in attitudes between supervisors and nonsupervisors were found regarding what good communications meant and how they interpret the question, "top management truly listens to employees' concerns." Nonsupervisors tend to disagree more frequently than supervisors. The study also found that there are significant association between gender, age group, job location, position, and occupation and agency. The differences in attitudes between supervisors and nonsupervisors about what would make communications seem good and what would contribute to the belief that top management listens to employees' concerns lead to the conclusion that there is a disconnection among organizational members and among management and employees. This disconnection may lead to mistrust, job dissatisfaction and the difficulty in attracting and retention of human talents.

Book excerpt: In this era of frequent corporate restructuring and rapid technological change, successful companies must have employees who are open to innovation and to changing roles, and are able to work together productively. Research shows that employees most likely to be adaptable, cooperative, and productive are those who are satisfied with their jobs. Therefore, it is essential that leaders of American business understand how to enhance job satisfaction within their organizations. In Job Satisfaction, top academic researchers in the field share state-of-the-art information on creating job satisfaction, its resulting benefits, and the risks of having too many employees who are dissatisfied with their jobs. As they show, job satisfaction is also an extremely useful predictor for management. An employee's level of job satisfaction is the single most important piece of data a manager or organizational psychologist can have to predict an employee's rate of absenteeism, decision to resign or retire, desire for union representation, or level of psychological withdrawal. Before they can enhance job satisfaction, managers must understand its components. Research demonstrates that an employee's level of satisfaction is based not only on events in the present and past, but also on his perceptions of the future. Foreseeing future opportunities for advancement, for increased pay, for participation in decision-making, or for networking lead to a high level of job satisfaction. In fact, the authors reveal, perceiving future opportunity can actually be more motivating than actually receiving a raise, getting promoted, or being given additional responsibilities. Job Satisfaction dispels the notion that jobstress necessarily leads to dissatisfaction, and shows how an organization should focus on increasing satisfaction rather than just reducing stress. It is especially important for managers to stimulate job satisfaction by improving their employees' sense of achievement through making tasks and their objectives clear, as well as giving feedback. Academics and managers alike will find Job Satisfaction a source of new and useful information for understanding and enhancing satisfaction on the job.

Book excerpt: 1.1 PREFACE : An organization, whether a business or an Industrial enterprise needs money, material, machinery and men for its survival and growth. The success or failure of an organization depends upon the effective combination of these factors. However, the management of ‘men’ means the employees of the organization. Their contribution towards organizational goal is well known to all, since pre-historic time to the most recent time. Whenever we talk about effectiveness and efficiency of an organization, we have to take a serious cognizance of employees as a major determining factor. Organizational effectiveness is critically dependant on how it attracts, recruits motivates and retains its work force. Today’s organizations need to be more flexible so that they are equipped to develop their workforce and enjoy their commitment. If we want an employee’s maximum contribution to work, he/she should be provided such a work environment where he/she will have a strong desire to work. The satisfied, happy and hard working employee is the biggest asset of any organization. The work force of any organization is responsible to a large extent for its productivity and profitability. The work environment has important bearing on the efficiency and satisfaction of the employees. A safe work environment provides the basis for a person to enjoy working. The work should not pose a health hazard for the person. Work performance is constantly affected by physical and psychological conditions of work. It is now increasingly realized that many work behavioural problems associated with performance, moral, absenteeism etc. can be solved with increasing awareness of improving the total work environment.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Essay from the year 2012 in the subject Business economics - Personnel and Organisation, printed single-sided, grade: none, -, course: Organization behaviour, language: English, abstract: According to Suzan M, heartfield, Employee satisfaction is a terminology used to describe whether employees are happy and contented and fulfilling their desires and needs at work. Many measures purport that employee satisfaction is a factor in employee motivation, employee goal achievement, and positive employee morale in the workplace. Whereas job satisfaction is generally positive the organization's success, it can also be a downer if mediocre employees stay because they are satisfied with your work environment. Several factors including; treating employees with respect, providing regular employee recognition, empowering employees, offering above industry-average benefits and compensation, providing employee perks and company activities, and positive management within a success framework of goals, measurements, and expectations all contribute to an employee's level of satisfaction. Employee satisfaction is looked at in areas such as: management, understanding of mission and vision, empowerment, teamwork, communication, and coworker interaction. Some of the signs of lack of employee satisfaction are high levels of absenteeism and staff turnover and can affect the organization's bottom line, as recruitment and retraining take their toll. But few organizations have made job satisfaction a top priority, perhaps because they have failed to understand the significant opportunity that lies in front of them. Satisfied employees on the other hand tend to be more productive, creative and committed to their employers, and recent studies have shown a direct correlation between staff satisfaction and their performance. For example, employers who can create work environments that attract, motivate and retain hard-working individuals will be better positioned to succeed in a competitive enviro

The uncertainty in the changed economic conditions, diversity in workplace and increased competition has forced majority of the organisations to hold on their top performers at any cost that they have to pay.

Using data from a Fortune 100 Company, the research examined trends in thirty employee satisfaction variables over a six-year period and identified the relationship of the variables to various corporate and business unit financial metrics.

Therefore, causal model comprising five variables: one dependent (employees' turnover intention) and four independent/controlled variables (job satisfaction, employees' commitment, safety at job and job autonomy) is formulated. Construction companies cannot flourish and fulfil their customer's needs when their employees are dissatisfied, restricted by too many policies and instructions, not committed to the organization, and are facing significant job hazardousness in their daily assigned tasks. Considerable research has been devoted to develop predictive models of employees' turnover intention, job satisfaction, employees' commitment, job autonomy and safety at work place among the past commonly proposed antecedents. Individual studies have generally supported hypothesized linkages among turnover and these variables. Satisfaction, commitment, job autonomy and job safety for instance, have invariably been reported to be negatively related to employees' turnover intention and positively correlated with one another. Over period of time and with recent technological boom particular in the construction industry, human resource department' responsibilities have been increased enormously to take part in the evaluation of employees' performance and their intent to leave or retain as prediction of company's turn over. More consideration have been given in the analytical study of employees' commitment, job satisfaction, job autonomy, job safety against the employees' int
