    Job satisfaction can be measured in two main ways: a single global rating using a 1-5 scale to rate overall satisfaction, or summing ratings of job facets like work, pay, and coworkers. The summation approach involves rating multiple elements on a standardized scale and combining the ratings into one score. Key causes of job satisfaction include interesting work providing variety, training, and independence. Social factors like feedback, support from coworkers, and interaction outside work also strongly relate to satisfaction, as positive self-evaluations of one's competence and worth. Pay only impacts satisfaction up to a certain level, with no relationship between higher pay and satisfaction after a point.

    Define Job Satisfaction and Show How It Can Be Measured


    Job satisfaction
    Job Satisfaction is a positive feeling about a job resulting from an evaluation
    of its characteristics
    The following two approaches for measuring Job Satisfaction are popular:
    A. The single global rating
    B. The summation of job facets (parts)
    A. The single global rating (One Question/ One Answer)
    The single global rating is a response to one question, such as All things
    considered, how satisfied are you with your job?
    Respondents circle a number between 1 and 5 on a scale from highly
    satisfied to highly dissatisfied.

    B. The summation of job facets (Many Questions/ One Average)


    The second method, the summation of job facets or parts, is more
    sophisticated in which many questions asked and one average score
    calculated for job satisfaction.
    It identifies key elements in a job such as the nature of the work,
    supervision, present pay, promotion opportunities, and relationship with
    coworkers.
    Respondents rate these on a standardized scale, and researchers add the
    ratings to create an overall job satisfaction score.
    2. Summarize the Main Causes of Job Satisfaction
    Pay influences job satisfaction only to a point.
    After a certain amount of money, there is no relationship between amounts
    of pay and job satisfaction.

    Money may bring happiness, but not necessarily job satisfaction.


    Interesting jobs that provide training, variety, independence, and control
    satisfy most employees.
    Interdependence, feedback, social support, and interaction with co-workers
    outside the workplace are strongly related to job satisfaction.
    Employees who have positive core self-evaluations, who believe in their
    inner worth and basic competence are more satisfied with their jobs as
    compared with negative core self-evaluations.
