“…Job satisfaction describes how we feel about a job [19] is a positive affective orientation toward employment [20,21]. Like other emotional judgments, job satisfaction arises from a variety of feelings related to the characteristics of the job, like feelings about the working conditions [22]. As an affective phenomenon, job satisfaction may be influenced by both positive and negative affects [23].…”

Background: Some researchers have argued that job satisfaction has been vaguely defined in the organizational literature. Also, there is a lack of consensus over the meaning of job satisfaction in literature. The aim of this study was to clarify dimensions of job satisfaction's concept based on a systematic review study. Materials and Methods: The present study used a systematic review to clarify job satisfaction's concept. Some databases including Pubmed and Medline were searched, carefully using proper keywords. A total of 38 articles were reviewed, all were published between 1986 and 2009, with the majority being of quantitative nature and design. Data on the following items were extracted: country, setting, subjects, the definition of job satisfaction, theoretical background for measuring job satisfaction and the dimensions of job satisfaction. Results: The results of this study showed that job satisfaction has been born in mind both conceptually and operationally. In both aspects, job satisfaction was assumed to be influenced by personal and organizational dimensions. The main focus was on identifying and controlling different factors to provide job satisfaction for individuals. Yet, individuals' contributions to satisfy themselves were ignored. Conclusions: We explored that job satisfaction is a multi dimensional concept. This contains individual abilities, attitudes, beliefs and value system. To achieve job satisfaction, it is important that the staff have the characteristics of positive feelings and attitudes, commitment, and responsibility.

“…Összességében tehát a szakirodalom azt mutatja, hogy a munkával való elégedettség releváns, érvényes és megbízható mutató, amely összefüggésben áll a munkahelyi teljesítménnyel, azaz alaposabb elemzése nem érdektelen.

ABSZTRAKTTanulmányunkban a munkával való elégedettséget meghatározó tényezőket vizsgáljuk a European Social Survey 5. hullámának segítségével (27 országból n=15 875 fő). Eredményeink szerint a szubjektív munkajellemzők erősebb kapcsolatban állnak a munkával való elégedettséggel, mint az objektív munkajellemzők: különösen a munkaidő és szabadidő összeegyeztethetősége, a változatos munka és az előrelépési lehetőség függ össze erősen az elégedettséggel. Bemutatjuk azt is, hogy bizonyos munkajellemzők elvárt és ténylegesen megvalósult értéke között fennálló feszültség komoly negatív hatással jár együtt. Elemzésünk egyik újdonsága a hatások heterogenitásának vizsgálata:egyes munkajellemzők eltérően befolyásolják a munkával való elégedettséget Kelet-és NyugatEurópában, a diplomások és az alacsonyabb végzettségűek körében, a 10 éven aluli gyerekkel élők és a 10 éven aluli gyerek nélkül élők, az idősek és a fiatalok, valamint az állami és magánszektorban foglalkoztatottak körében.Kulcsszavak: munkával való elégedettség; szubjektív munkajellemzők; objektív munkakörül-mények; nemzetközi összehasonlítás; European Social Survey ABSTRACT The aim of our paper is to analyze the determinants of job satisfaction in a cross-national setting, using the 5th wave of the European Social Survey (15 875 individuals from 27 countries). Our results provide evidence that subjective job characteristics are associated stronger with job satisfaction than objective working conditions: work-life balance, variety in work and advancement opportunities are the most important subjective job characteristics influencing job satisfaction. We also show that discrepancy between expected job characteristics and experiences has strong negative effect on satisfaction. The novelty of our paper is that we analyze the effect of subjective job charac-

“…The literature has confirmed that these sizes have a high correlation with overall job satisfaction (.53 and .88 respectively in two different meta-analysis: Loher et al, 1985;Spector, 1985), particularly for people with high motivation to growth professionally and performing complex tasks, non-manual or non-repetitive. In other words, the overall satisfaction is based on partial satisfaction related to specific aspects of work whose derived utility is evaluated by the subject more or less consciously (Skalli et al, 2008). The JS would be a multi dimension composed of partial satisfaction arising from different aspects of the job, which occupy different positions in the scale of satisfaction.…”

“…The overall JS (or utility derived from job) is an aggregation of this partial satisfaction: different mix of satisfaction can generate the same level of overall JS. Skalli et al, (2008) following an economic approach, consider JS a measure of the utility that the worker derives from his job: it is therefore important to identify those job characteristics that have a different impact on overall JS. The authors' conclusion is that there are not aspects of JS, but different aspects of the work environment that are evaluated.…”

Chronically Dissatisfied: Work Characteristics, Personal Expectations and Job Satisfaction - Empirical Evidence in Young Italian Workers

Job satisfaction is the degree to which people like their jobs. Companies are interested in job satisfaction of their employees, because it is positively correlated with certain desired outcomes and contributes to reduce significantly the rate of absenteeism and job turnover. Job satisfaction needs to be divided into three separate but related components: the overall opinion about the job, affective experience at work, beliefs about the job itself, and can be considered as a global feeling about the job or as a related constellation of attitudes about various aspects or facets of the job. The global approach is used when the overall attitude is of interest, the facet approach is used to find out which parts of job produce satisfaction or dissatisfaction. This article presents and discusses the results of a study carried out using both approaches to get a complete picture of employee job satisfaction on a consistent and significant sample of young workers (less than three years of tenure) belonging to the mechanical sector in a province in the Northeast of Italy. Using an analytical protocol the present study has identified aspects of work related (positively and negatively) to the job satisfaction.
