Book excerpt: "Job Satisfaction dispels the notion that job stress 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."

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

Book excerpt: Job satisfaction is a central concept in work and organizational psychology as it is associated with important individual as well as organizational outcomes. Work is the number one activity that occupies most of adults' waking time. Being satisfied with one's job, which is defined as a pleasurable or positive emotional state resulting from the appraisal of one's job or job experience, is related to important work-related and health-related outcomes (e.g., higher job performance, organizational commitment, organizational citizenship behavior, life satisfaction, lower absenteeism and lower counterproductive work behavior). This book discusses determinants of job satisfaction as well as workplace implications and the impact job satisfaction has on the psychological well-being of individuals.

Book excerpt: In a profession where the nursing shortage is well known and inevitable despite of vacancy reprieves, understanding determinants of job satisfaction may now be an essential component of retention strategies. Many factors are causing the health care industry to see the potential significant implications of the nursing shortage. Collaboratively creating an environment of empowerment, autonomy, and lower stress, nurses are content and satisfied. In turn, satisfied nurses can continue to deliver safe and quality patient care. The purpose of this study was to understand the relationships among the determinants of job satisfaction. Nurse-manager collaboration, empowerment, autonomy, and subjected job stress were the identified independent variables and job satisfaction was the dependent variable. The following instruments were used to measure the perspective study variables: Collaborative Behavior Scale-B (CBS-B); Conditions of Work Effectiveness Questionnaire-II (CWEQ-II); a subscale from the Index of Work Satisfaction; Subjective Job Stress; and Michigan Organizational Assessment Scale. The hypotheses proposed for the study included: there will be positive relationship between nurse-manager collaboration and job satisfaction; there will be a positive relationship between empowerment and job satisfaction; there will be positive relationship between autonomy and job satisfaction; there will be negative relationships between subjective job stress and job satisfaction; there will be significant relationships among nurse-manager collaboration, empowerment, autonomy, and subjective job stress. The research study was a descriptive correlation study design. A convenience, snowball sample methodology was used. Once correlation was identified, the study variables were further analyzed using multiple regression and dominance analysis. There were significant correlations among the study variables. Empowerment had the strongest correlation to job satisfaction (r = 0.71, p [less than or equal to] 0.05). It explained 50% of the variance in job satisfaction ([lower case beta] = 0.76, p [less than] 0.001). Dominance analysis revealed empowerment is the most importance predicator of job satisfaction (F = 46.57, df = 1, 70; R2 = 0.213). The data supported all hypotheses. A post hoc analysis was conducted to determine if any of the study variables were correlated with nurses' perceptions of unit commitment to patient safety, quality of work, and nurse safety. These three variables were measured with one question on the demographic requesting the respondent to rate each of these variables on a 10-point scale. Several statistically significant correlations were identified. Perception of NMC was highly and significantly correlated to perception of unit's commitment to nurse safety. This validates the desire that safety in nursing practice is affected by how effective the collaboration is between the nurse and the nurse manager. The perception of autonomy was significantly correlated to unit's commitment to patient safety. This may imply that the more the nurse believes that the higher their autonomy (scopespecific decision making power) patient safety increases. These results indicate the relationship between nurses' perceptions of NMC, empowerment, autonomy, SJS, and JS with the nurses' perceptions of the units' commitment to patient safety, quality of work, and nurse safety. This is the first time that such findings have been reported.

Book excerpt: How can managers and executives motivate workers to make them happier and more productive? How can employees find meaning and motivation in their careers? The classic Two Factor Theory--a simple, time-tested model for conceptualizing job satisfaction--is here re-imagined for a modern world, with relevant examples, and backed by dozens of academic studies that organizational leaders can draw upon to improve worker motivation. The Universal Dual-Factor Survey (UDS) is introduced, providing a means to assess workforce job satisfaction. Managers will be able to understand which factors need improvement, leading to more meaningful work. Employees, at all levels of business, government and nonprofit organizations, will be able to improve personal motivation, facilitating a more cohesive and thriving workforce.
Download or read book Happy performing Managers written by Peter Hosie and published by Edward Elgar Publishing. This book was released on 2006 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides contemporary means to solve an age-old conundrum in management - do happy workers perform better? Decades of research and empirical evidence have been unable to establish a strong link between affective well-being, intrinsic job satisfaction and managers' performance. A unique methodology, fresh empirical evidence and a definitive analysis of previous theory and research are employed to support the happy productive worker thesis. The authors test a kindred idea - the 'happy-performing managers' proposition, using advanced statistical techniques. Performance is measured to a previously unachievable level. New empirical evidence is used to predict how affective wellbeing and intrinsic job satisfaction influences managers' contextual and task performance. These findings are argued to have significantly progressed our understanding of what underpins human performance at work. The book prescribes how managers' jobs might be changed to enhance or avoid a decline in happiness because managers' performance is impacting as never before on organisational productivity and the economic prosperity of nation-states. Extraordinary shifts in the global corporate environment mean managers' 'personal troubles' have now become 'public concerns'. An emerging movement to Positive Organisational Scholarship is countering such forces by developing ways to create positive human and organisational wellbeing. Happy-Performing Managers will be invaluable to academics, postgraduate students, human resource practitioners, executives and managers who are interested in gaining a deeper understanding of the factors that influence human performance in the workplace.
