A study on employee job satisfaction

human resource

In the current business climate, it is important for organisations to stop losing performing employees because of declining job satisfaction and a lack of motivation to stay with the company for a long time. This is true as it relates to high job losses due to layoffs and retrenchment to create a lean organisation. Employees that are motivated and content will approach organisational goals with commitment; consequently, enterprises will need to demonstrate a similar level of commitment to employee goals. Consequently, HR’s responsibility is to consistently endeavor to link employee aspirations with organisational objectives. Inspiring work environments that support and address employees’ needs for growth and development can help attain this goal . Apart from the complexity of these elements and the fact that they cannot be addressed on an individual employee basis because they may vary from case to case, it is crucial for HR to look for common points of intersection. There are other negative effects of dissatisfaction, such as absenteeism, low performance, lower morale, low contribution to the team, less coordination, and a lack of orientation towards organisational goals, which could affect an organization’s ability to compete in the highly competitive business environment. Job satisfaction or employee motivation is studied not just to deal with turnover. Hence, HR must create an organisational environment and foster an organisational culture that considers the current demand.
