LACK OF JOB SATISFACTION
Saturday and Sunday were spent together. Do you dread Monday mornings? Get rid of the dread of having to go to work in the morning! “Pleasure in the job brings perfection to the work,” says Aristotle.
We all want good pay, interesting and challenging work, and strong professional relationships, but we may not always be able to obtain all of these things. The first step toward resolving your dissatisfaction could be determining the source of your dissatisfaction. Is it the tyrannical boss? Colleagues who aren’t helpful? Is your job monotonous? Or a stifling environment? We find silver linings everywhere when contentment becomes a way of life!
According to research, there are two major components to job satisfaction:
These are linked to factors such as pay, supportive coworkers, and supervisory relationships, among others.
These are factors such as motivation to use your skill set or add value to your workplace. According to SHRM, more than half of the respondents were satisfied with their jobs because their supervisors valued their ideas.
Despite the fact that pay is thought to be a good indicator of job satisfaction, a survey found that most employees would rather be recognised by company-wide mail than by pay.Job engagement is one factor in job satisfaction; if people do not feel they are using their skills, justifying their job, or performing well at their job, they will be dissatisfied. One way to improve your job satisfaction is to assess how your work contributes to the company’s or larger goals. People who find meaning in their work are happier in their jobs.
You may raise your eyes to questions such as why did you take this job. What drew you to the project in the first place? What you want to be when you grow up and how you can apply it to your current job. Filling in the gap of why you started something could lead to the discovery of factors for which you should work.
