08 Job Satisfaction


Question

What are key takeaways from job satisfaction for HRM?


Answer
  • Measure satisfaction as a scale
  • Satisfaction is very important for attracting new employees and keeping your current ones
    • Information is very public/transparent (kununu/glassdoor)
    • Private sector has to focus more/public sector workers are less likely to leave anyways
  • If unsatisfied workers can't leave they tend to:
    • Slack off
    • Call in sick
    • Or moonlight (work another paid job)
  • Nature and Nurture are affecting Satisfaction aswell: Satisfaction/Happyness should be considered when hiring
  • Money has a stronger effect on motivation than on satisfaction
  • More satisfied employees tend to have more positive outcomes (including job performance)
