A big salary is much more important than job satisfaction. Do you agree or disagree?

Of course, money is much more than a means for satisfying one’s needs in

this

materialistic world. It is

also

a status symbol. Being supported by a prestigious

salary

certainly allows the employee to afford spending on housing, travelling, health insurance and recreation. The weight of the pay packet

also

affects the performance of the employee. Underpaid

employees

are more likely to work in a careless manner because they lack the motivation to work harder.

This

feeling of dissatisfaction can result in the failure of an organization if it is prevalent among all of its

employees

. It is

thus

evident that the income that an employee obtains from a job will play a crucial role in determining their willingness to continue in that position.

This

,

however

, does not mean that

salary

is the only thing to consider when choosing a job. For most

employees

, a safe and stress-free working environment is equally important. Working in a hazardous industry can lead to consequences that cannot be compensated with whatever amounts of money.

For example

, people working in the mining industry run the risk of getting buried

while

digging in mines.

Although

they are well-paid, their

salary

won’t help them if they die or get seriously injured.

Likewise

, unachievable targets and tight deadlines are the norm at many organizations. They put tremendous pressure on

employees

and hinder their personal and professional lives.

For example

, in Japan, a lot of people commit suicide because of work pressure. The reasons mentioned above clearly show that several factors other than financial advantages need to be considered

while

proceeding with a job offer.

To sum up

, in my view a safe and stress-free working environment is as important as a fat

salary

. We need money to meet our expenses. We need to stay safe from injuries and illnesses too.
