    Section 1: The Purpose Introduction of Employees Job Satisfaction :

    1.1- purpose:

    As we all know that the main existence, for any organization is to achieve the customer

    Satisfaction either internally (employees satisfaction) or externally (customer satisfaction).

    Our project main goal , is to examine the employees job satisfaction level (As an Internal

    Customer) for three organizations (2 are service companies for profit organizations ) & the

    third one is NGOs Institution. In our survey we indicated & examined certain variables, we

    consider them as major and crucial factors that affecting the employees level of satisfaction,

    which will at the end have a great impact on the employees performance , & at the same

    time affecting the overall organizational goals. We chose only Ten main categories ,Such as

    management feedback for employees performance, different management approaches,

    reward and recognitions, training and development , compensation and benefit ,

    satisfaction and motivation, communication, work life balance, equality and respect, work

    environment & safety. These categories(variables) have a great impact on employees job

    satisfaction , we reform these variables in the GAP analysis chart to be in a form of SMART

    objectives, that can leads to each main organizational goal of employees job satisfaction.

    N.B: The previous ten categories considered the 2 main causes of job satisfaction ,which are

    pay & social context(employees co-workers, with whom an employee work with) .

    1.2- Introduction to employee Satisfaction:

    Human Resource Management is considered to be the most valuable asset in any

    organization. So that human resources should be utilized to the maximum possible extent,

    in order to achieve individual and organizational goals. It is thus the employee's

    performance which ultimately decides and attainment of goals. However, the employee

    performance is to a large extent, influenced by motivation and job satisfaction.

    1.  Human resource management is a specialized functional area of business that

    attempts to develop programs, policies, and activities to promote the job satisfaction

    of both individual and organizational needs, goods and objectives.

    2.  People join organizations with certain motives like security of income and job, better

    prospects in future, and satisfaction of social and psychological needs. Every person

    has different sets of needs at different times. It is the responsibility of management to

    recognize this basic fact and provide appropriate opportunities and environments to

    people at work to satisfy their needs

    Job satisfaction refers to a person's feeling of satisfaction on the job, which acts

    as a motivation to work. It is not the self- satisfaction, happiness or self-

    contentment but the satisfaction on the job. Job satisfaction is an individual's

    felling regarding his or her work. The term relates to the total relationship

    between an individual and the employer for which he is paid. Satisfaction does

    mean the simple feeling state accompanying the attainment of any goal, the end

    state is feeling accompanying the attainment by an impulse of its objective., “any

    combination of psychological, physiological and environmental circumstances

    that cause and person truthfully to say I am satisfied with my job ” 

     Job satisfaction as the amount of overall positive affect (or feelings) that

    individuals have towards their jobs.

     Job satisfaction has many dimensions each dimension contributes to an

    individual's overall feeling of satisfaction with the job itself, but different people

    define the “job” differently. There are three important dimensions to job-

    satisfaction:

    What do we mean by Job Satisfaction?

  • 8/17/2019 Organization Behaviour - Robbins book - project

    5/44

    1) Job- satisfaction refers to one's feeling towards one's job. It can only be inferred but not

    seen.

    2) Job satisfaction is often determined by how well outcomes meet or exceed expectations.

    Satisfaction in one's job means increased commitment in the fulfillment of formal

    requirements. There is greater willingness to invest personal energy and time in jobperformance.

    3) The terms job-satisfaction and job attitudes are typically used interchangeably. Both

    refer to effective orientations on the part of individuals towards their work roles, which

    they are presently occupying.

    Though the terms job-satisfaction and attitudes are used interchangeably, there are

    differences between the two. Attitude refers to predisposition to respond. Job-satisfaction,on the other hand, relates to performance factors. Attitudes reflect one's feelings towards

    individuals, organizations, and objects. But satisfaction

    Refers to one's attitude to a job. Job satisfaction is, therefore, a specific subset of attitudes.

    1- The study of job satisfaction enriches management with a range of information

    relating to job, employee, environment etc. which facilitated it in decision making

    and correcting the path of organizational policies and behavior. It indicates the

     general level of satisfaction in the organization about its programs, policies etc.

    2- 

    Secondly, it is a diagnostic instrument for knowing employees‟

     problems, effecting

    changes and correcting with least resistance.

    3- Thirdly, it strengthens the communication system of the organization and

    management can discuss the result for shaping the future course of action.

    4- Fourthly, it helps in improving the attitudes of employees towards the job and

    facilitates integration of employee with the organization. It inspires sense of

    Importance of Job Satisfaction:

  • 8/17/2019 Organization Behaviour - Robbins book - project

    6/44

    belongingness and sense of participation leading to the overall increase in the

    productivity of the organization.

    5- 

    Fifthly, it helps unions to know exactly what employees want and what management

    is doing. Thus, it facilitates mutual settlement of complaints and other unwanted

    situations.

    6- Lastly, it facilitates in determining the training and development needs of the both,

    employees and the organization.

    A survey tells how employees feel about their jobs, what parts of their jobs their feelings

    are focused on, which departments are particularly affected and whose feelings are

    involved (for example, supervisors employees, or staff specialist). The survey is a powerful

    diagnostic instrument for assessing broad employee problems. If job satisfaction studies are

    properly planned and administered, they will usually produce a number of important

    benefits, both general and specific .The following are the benefits:  

    1- One benefit of job satisfaction surveys is that they give management an indication of

     general levels of satisfaction in a company. Surveys also indicate specific areas of

    satisfaction or dissatisfaction (as with employee services) and particular group of

    employees

    2- Improved communication is another benefit of the surveys. Communication flows in

    all directions as people plan the survey, talk, and discuss its results. Particularly

    beneficial to the company is the upward communication when the employees are

    encouraged to comment about what they really have in their minds. 

    3- An unexpected benefit from a job-satisfaction survey is improved attitudes. For some

    employees, the survey is a safety valve, an emotional release, a chance to get things

    off their chest. For others, the survey is a tangible expression of management's

    interest in employee welfare, which gives employee a reason to feel better towards

    management.

    Benefits of Job Satisfaction Surveys

  • 8/17/2019 Organization Behaviour - Robbins book - project

    7/44

    4- The job-satisfaction survey can help discover the causes of indirect productivity

    problems, such as absenteeism, turnover and poor quality of work. If an

    organization is disturbed by a high rate of absenteeism or turnover, it might

    appropriately turn to job-satisfaction surveys to diagnose the cause. The causes

    could be low pay, lack of promotional opportunities, unchallenging jobs, unjusttreatment, and the like. Without proper surveys there could be random guessing on

    the part of management. A job-satisfaction survey helps management both to get a

    better handle on why employees are lagging to plan better solutions to problems.

    5- Another benefit of satisfaction surveys is that they help management assess training

    needs. Usually employees are given an opportunity to report how they feel this

    supervisor performs certain parts of the jobs such as delegating work and givingadequate job instructions. Since employees experience these supervisory acts, their

    perceptions may provide useful data about the training of their supervisors.

    6- A job-satisfaction survey is an indicator of the effectiveness of organizational

    reward systems. There is a positive relationship between performance and

    satisfaction. This relationship will be strong when rewards (intrinsic and extrinsic)

    are distributed equitably contingent upon performance. Now, job-satisfactionsurveys can provide some clues as to the effectiveness of the organizational rewards

    system. They help managers judge whether the best performers are receiving the

    most rewards and the most satisfaction from their jobs. The best performers are

    likely to quit if they are not suitably rewarded.

    7- One of the best uses of job-satisfaction surveys is in the evaluation of the impact of

    organizational changes on employee attitudes. For example, the management wantsto know whether the job redesign program recently implemented in the

    organization has resulted in increased satisfaction to the employees. By comparing

    pre-change data, and post change data, it is easy to determine what impact the

    redesigned work has on employee attitudes.

    8- 

    Finally, it is not that satisfaction surveys benefit only management. They are useful to

    unions too. Often, both management and union argue about what the employeeswant, but neither really knows. The job-satisfaction survey is one way to find out. It

    is for this reason that unions support surveys.

    between the desired goal of the organization(employees satisfaction )& and the

    survey result (current situations).

    B- Job Satisfaction in the MENA Region 

    A recent study held in the MENA Region (Middle East and North Africa) to measure the job

    satisfaction in the region countries.

    Data was collected online with a total number of respondents 5,774 employed males and

    females reflecting the different aspects of job satisfaction.

    The below graph is reflecting the overall satisfaction of the employees with their current

     jobs. The study has also measured other aspects like the satisfaction with the pay, benefits,

    company affiliation, trainings, career path… etc. 

    From the graph, we can notice that Jordan is the highest in the “Very Dissatisfied” category,

    and Egypt is having the highest score in the “Very Satisfied” category. On the other hand,

    Qatar and Lebanon are getting the highest score in “Somewhat Dissatisfied” and “Somewhat

    Satisfied” respectively.

    C-Job Satisfaction and Personality Types: 

    The personality type has a lot to do with your level of professional satisfaction.

    According to the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) personality test, which

    measures preferences like introversion and extroversion, there are a total of 16 distinctive

    personality types.

    To find out which of those tend to be happiest —  or unhappiest —  at work, a provider of

    online personality and career assessments, and a developer of a personality type

    assessment, asked 2,053 people: “How satisfied are you with your job?” where respondents

    had five options, from “Very Satisfied” to “Very Dissatisfied.” 

    It was found that people with an ESFJ-type personality  –  which stands for Extroverted,

    Sensing, Feeling, and Judging –  are the most satisfied.

    In the chart below, a score of 5 represents the highest level of satisfaction possible, and a

    score of 1 indicates the lowest level of satisfaction.

    in the employees attitude and future behaviour towards achieving organizational goal,&

    increase customer satisfaction specially for the 2 services organization .(profit

    organizations).

    As there is strong positive relationship between employees satisfaction& customer

    satisfaction , as well.

    Second: Now we reached to the second point of employees job satisfaction which is pay .

    Pay is not only in a form of salary for white collar ,or wages for blue-collar , but also it

    includes all pay categories, such as (incentives, reward, benefits , leaves,

    allowances,.....etc),we will talk also about the recognition (monetary &non-Monetary). 

    The Second diagram groups describing the relation between Reward Recognition, i.e.,

    ( employees performance and contribution, links between performance and reward i.e.- do

    Manager link employees overall performance to organization's rewarding system, In

    addition to the previous two points, employees appreciation level in the organization

    ,receiving non-monetary recognition, reward effort adequately, employees valuing non-

    monetary recognition)  the employees satisfaction level, Resultswere respectively 54.8%

    ,41.9%, 38.7%, 41.9%, 54.8%, 38.7% of total employees, were satisfied with Rewarding and

    recognition systems.

    These Results show, that the more employees are satisfied with Reward &Recognition

    system , the more they will have high level of job satisfaction(strong positive relationship)

    which will be reflected in the employees attitude ,such as reducing the turnover rate, As

    happy and satisfied employees will be eager to go to work and exert more effort that gives

    them more incentives,& rewards.

    Third: AS we all know that employees are considered as the competitive advantage of any

    organization, where providing employees with needed training programs according to

    their competencies levels , and periodical performance appraisal system , will enhance the

    company's assets (People) to be transferred from Human capital to intellectual capital, .i.e.

    employees knowledge value will be measures as any other asset .

    This group of diagrams show the relation between Training and development programs

    ,i.e.(advancement opportunities in the company, promotion based on performance, do

    training levels are enough to perform the job, , priority of training and development

    programs,) the employees satisfaction level, Results were respectively 51.6% ,% ,51.6%,

    51.6%, 38.7% of total employees, were satisfied with training and development programs

    ,Where for interest level of participating in additional training 41.9% of employees were

    strongly satisfied.

    Results prove, that the more employees are satisfied with Training and development

    programs , the more they will have high level of job satisfaction and be more engaged to

    42/44

    work. Which at last it will have an impact on achieving the organizational goal effectively

    and efficiency with min waste of organizational resource.

    Fourth: This group of diagrams show the relation between compensation and benefit

    programs ,i.e. ( paid fairly, satisfaction with benefit package, benefit matches with needs,

    communicated compensation level)  the employees satisfaction level, Results were

    respectively 38.7%, 45.2%,48.4%,45.2% of total employees, were satisfied with

    compensation and benefit, programs ,Where for the question of do you feel that some

    employees are paid generously than others? 32.3% of employees were strongly agree.

    The last result show un fairness level of dealing, compensating some employees than

    others, will lead to create un healthy environment , where employees are working in .

    Corruption is a fatal mistake that ,some companies may face either intentionally or not, it

    will impact negatively on employees behaviour, as increase the rate of absenteeism.

    Fifth: Satisfaction and Motivation survey, Results show the relation between satisfaction

    and motivation ,i.e. ( proud level of organization mission and vision, level of underrating

    the assigned task ,safety level ,creation of customer satisfaction, employees own

    recommendation for the company as good place to work for )  the employees satisfaction 

    level, Results were respectively 58.1% ,67.7%, 45.2%, 45.2%, 38.7% of total employees,

    were satisfied with Satisfaction and Motivation.

    That proves the satisfaction & Motivation approaches adopted in the three organization

    create agreeable level of satisfaction .

    Sixth: Communication &Work life balance, Results show the relation between

    Communication &Work life balance respectively ,i.e. ( frequent of meeting ,closeness of

    employees expectation to the position ,level of information that relates to targets

    ,expressing employees idea ,communication degree ,balance between work and life,

    accommodation level of personal needs

    , stress level, weekly working hours)  the employees satisfaction level, , Results  were

    respectively 38.7% ,48.45,48.4%, 48.4%,51.6%, 54.8%,54.8%,48.4%, 45.2%,45.2%

    of total employees, were satisfied with Communication &Work life balance .It shows that

    the companies are in a great level of continues frequent combination level with its

    employee, which reduce conflict among the companies, strong communication channels ,

    will improve the employees level of engagement and loyalty as well. .

    For Example: If an employee suddenly had a family issue that forced him to leave his

    assigned urgent task, so in this situation a good way of strong communication between the

    employee and his manager will lead to have urgent leave , So at last good communication

    will enhance employees loyalty& at the same time it leads the employee to reach to a

    certain satisfied level work life balance ( a balance between employees social and

  • 8/17/2019 Organization Behaviour - Robbins book - project

    43/44

    professional life).It generates a feel of engagement to the organizational goal as if it is the

    employees goal as well.

    Seventh: : At last here we have the last two variables the first is Equality& Respect, & the

    second is work environment and safety.

    Results show the relation between the two variables Equity& Respect, & the second is work

    environment and safety.

    *For the first variable i.e. (is promotion based on performance ,discipline actions are

    applied equally, does the company value diversification , is there any discrimination,

    harassment ,respect level ,feeling of being valued at work )

    * AS for the second variable i.e. (safety feeling, air quality, amount of space, cleanness

    of working area ,lightening environment ,technology tools, and does it maintained to the

    level of an employee satisfaction) the employees satisfaction level, ,Results were

    respectively For the first variable:

    38.7% ,38.7% ,54.8%, 35.8% ,58.1% ,45.2%, 38.7%

    And For Second variables were: 58.1% ,54.8% ,51.6%, 58.1%, 58.1% ,51.6%, 51.6%. ,of

    total employees, were satisfied with Equality & Respect,

    Unless the variable of discrimination and harassment ,Result were strongly disagree.

    *AS for the second variable of work environment and safety , they were very satisfied,

    Unless the maintenance level of technology equipment, they were satisfied & safety and air

    quality they were strongly satisfied.

    Results show the majority of the employees are satisfied with the overall working

    conditions of the organizations ,they are working for ,the sense of equality between

    organization members, which significantly appear, in the satisfaction level of linking the

    promotional level (career path )with performance ,generates a health environment, where

    everyone will be compensated due to his effort , Also the working context (working

    environment), where the employees are working in , the air , lightening and technology ,

     guarantee a high spiritual level, which reflects in a form of loving to do the assigned work,

    instead of doing the assigned work .It creates a feeling of ,I love going to work instead of i

    have to go to work ,which of course will increase productivity level, and achieve

    organizational goal, at last.

    Section 4: Recommendation

    1-The Previous job satisfaction's survey could be used for further future surveys to

    examine, the relation between different variables such as, productivity, absenteeism, turn

  • 8/17/2019 Organization Behaviour - Robbins book - project

    44/44

    overrate ,customer satisfaction & the level of employees job satisfaction ( in a form of the

    former mentioned Ten job satisfactions causes).

    2-For compensation and benefit programs, companies should generate a moderate policies,

    procedures, and system , to spread the fair level of pays among employees , to reduce the

    feeling of any deviation, or discrimination towards other employees.

    Creating this atmosphere will let the employees feel with a sense of equality , that matches

    with the previous positive employees feedback of applying management approaches.
