As most people spend a major part of their adult life at work, job satisfaction is an important element of individual wellbeing. What factors contribute to job satisfaction?. How realistic is the expectation of job satisfaction for all workers?

Every person who is working for his/her living has to spend at least 8 hours a day at

work

. So it is vital for them to be satisfied with their job. If not, it would be really stressful for everyone to stay at

work

for the whole day. Lots of components can enhance

employees

’

satisfaction

and some of them are mentioned below. The main intention for

people

who are working is to earn money for their living. That’s why competitive salaries can enhance

employees

’ motivation which means the higher salary

employees

earn, the higher

satisfaction

they get at

work

.

Thus

, some

companies

give monetary rewards to those who have high performance in order to satisfy them so that they can maintain their qualities.

Moreover

, some

people

prefer to have a warm and supportive working environment to be happy at

work

. Since workers spend the whole day at

work

, the working atmosphere is very crucial for them. Every person would be dissatisfied if he/she has to

work

with

people

who are pessimistic, jealous and narrow-minded. So

people

desire to have helpful, broad-minded and optimistic co-workers and superiors in order to feel flexible at

work

. Even though job

satisfaction

is vital to every worker, it is impossible to satisfy every worker. The expectations of some

employees

are unrealistic,

for example

, they expect higher salaries than their

companies

can offer. Nowadays most

companies

are suffering from recession and they are trying not to be insolvent so they have to control their budgets and cannot offer the salary that their

employees

expect. But for the

employees

, they are suffering from inflation and they need to earn more money for their living and they feel dissatisfied whenever their

companies

cannot offer handsome salaries.

This

becomes one of the reasons for

employees

’ dissatisfaction. It is assumed that

satisfaction

can enhance the productivity, motivation and happiness of every staff member. The more peace of mind

employees

get, the higher performance they can contribute to their

companies

. So it is a win-win situation for

companies

to give fulfilment to their workers as much as they can.
