Also, there have been various models created worldwide to understand the concept of job satisfaction and complexity involved in it. Regarding the methods widely used to predict human contentedness refer here.

2. What Research Papers Says

Since the 1930s all organisations are carrying out a lot of surveys to find the right thing which has the ability to drives the workforce peace.  Yes, this is strange but our government and many multi-national companies are investing millions of dollars every year on research just to know how to keep their company employees happy and earn profits by also keeping them satisfied. I was also surprised like you guys to hear this until I found out this article as proof which amazed me. I know you might be excited to the know the results of the experiment conducted since years but up till now, nothing is found concrete on this section of the research and also after investing so much the employee engagement surveys score are very low.

According to many research papers published, they define it "As a measure of how happy people are with their job and the surrounding environment in which they work keeping in mind all the benefits company/organisation is providing to them." 

3. What Quora Says

You might be surprised but the same issues are faced by 80% of people like us and then we are looking for job change as an option to improve the scenario instead of looking the factors which drive our lives to happiness/pleasure.

So be prepared and fasten your seat belts because you will be learning a lot about job satisfaction here.




 What Do You Mean By Job satisfaction ????

So you might have found the definition that explains your situation of office ideal condition but the real question now is the definition much easy to apply in real life as it seems while understanding. Obviously, the answer is a straight NO because of the word PARAMETER this has always been a great debate topic for every person on the planet from all walks of life. 

Don't believe me when you can analyze that by yourself. If you observe carefully on the above description by various sources of Wikipedia/peoples/research papers all they concentrate on two words which are Measurement/Scales and all these terms are usually used by them in their illustration for explaining of Factors/Parameter which says how happy an individual is in the workplace environment.




Now don't take your question back home and examine your own parameter/factors to increase satisfaction at the office and personal level in life and comment below to let others know and help them to figure out their own one. For a better understanding on your side of limitation view these factors which affect job satisfaction. 

For your information as far as work is concerned let me tell you a secret work never keeps anyone satisfied throughout the globe in the majority but factors do. So do choose your's one with care.

  1. Hi Rishabh,

    Truly a great effort to bring out nice references to defend and clarify your justifications regarding Job Satisfaction. Everything looks to be on point.

    But I would like to add, as per my experience so far, I do believe most of them are aware that the term "Job Satisfaction" is subjective and depend upon individuals goals and expectation from the job and related environments.

    I believe that no one can achieve 100% job satisfaction;As we all know that the scenarios(parameters) related to job satisfaction keep on changing as we grow (with responsibilities and financial requirements). Somewhere, we have to find a correct optimal tradeoff between our job satisfication and current situation. The result of this tradeoff cannot be constant and needs to be altered whenever our definition for any one of those changes in our life.

    I would like to see a blog from you stating measures that one can take to optimize this tradeoff. Which will help every individual achieve maximum Job satisfaction even in its current situation and whatever Job he has.

    Aim is to get the best out of what we have because human is a greedy animal and will always look for more and more.

    NOTE: Everything I mentioned is just my personal opinion. Kindly do consider it has a humble request/opinion.

    Thanks,
    Rajkumar V.
