Achieving Job Satisfaction
2
How can you increase your job satisfaction?

• A reliable survey source gives the data that only
  48 of people are satisfied with their jobs. With
  worker dissatisfaction so high, how can you avoid
  it? Or, if you are working and dissatisfied, what
  can you do about it?
• There are different kinds of job satisfaction.
• Overall job satisfaction is actually a
  combination of intrinsic and extrinsic job
  satisfaction
• Intrinsic job satisfaction is when workers
  consider only the kind of work they do, the tasks
  that make up the job.

• Extrinsic job satisfaction is when workers
  consider work conditions, such as their pay,
  co-worker, and supervisor.
• It helps to look at jobs from both points of
  view. For example, if you are dissatisfied with
  your current job, ask yourself, "Am I
  dissatisfied because of the kind of work I am
  doing (intrinsic) or is it related to my work
  conditions (extrinsic)?"
• Job satisfaction is also influenced by job
  expectations. What do you look for in a job?
  Security, pay, prestige, independence? For ideas,

1. Know yourself

• Write down what you like and don't like about
  working. What values are important to you? Write
  down what you expect from a job. Then, you will
  know what to look for when choosing among jobs or
  careers.
• Rank the "ten job expectations" most frequently
  mentioned by workers. Are there others, not
  mentioned, like autonomy or prestige that is
  important to you?

2. Research jobs that meet your expectations

• There are lots of career options out there. Take
  time to research on all options that might fit

4. Don't ignore job dissatisfaction for too long

• Your level of job satisfaction predicts how
  adjusted you are to work. Dissatisfaction may
  lead to something worse - job loss, accidents,
  even mental illness. Depression, anxiety, worry,
  tension, and interpersonal problems can result
  from, or be made worse by job dissatisfaction. In
  fact, job satisfaction was found to be the best
  predictor of how long you live... better than a
  doctor's rating of physical functioning, or
  genetic inheritance. So, it is important to work
  out a solution if your job makes you unhappy.

5. Have realistic job expectations

• Like many things in life, overall job
  satisfaction is a trade-off. People experience
  dissatisfaction even in the best jobs. And, in
  todays work world you cannot expect your company
  to look out for you you have to take the
  initiative yourself.

6. Separate dissatisfaction with the kind of work
you do from the conditions of work

• If you are increasingly dissatisfied with the
  kind of work you are doing, you should consider a
  career change. If you are dissatisfied with the
  conditions of work, you may be able to solve the
  problem by changing employers or negotiating with
  your current employer to make changes.

7. Is your dissatisfaction temporary?

• Look down the road at your possible career
  progress. Present dissatisfactions might be worth
  bearing if you see your career progressing.

8. Examine your values

• You have to answer this question honestly How
  important is your job, your career to you? Only
  when this question is answered can you put your
  job satisfaction or dissatisfaction in proper
  perspective.
• To sum up find your heart's desire when it comes
  to your job. Follow your heart and take a wide
  angled view of all possible changes you can bring
  into your life to be satisfied in your job.
