that affect their job satisfaction DeBats, 1982. Smith, Kendall, and Hulin 1969 supported the results of the study by Weiss, Darwin, England, and Lofquist
1967, which suggested five essential dimensions for measuring job satisfaction: the job itself, pay, promotion, opportunities, supervision, and co-workers.
1. Job itself
Perhaps most important to employee motivation is helping individuals believe that the work they are doing is important and that their tasks are
meaningful. Peoples like the job which congruent or fit with their personality. Chosen
of the job make people realize on their talent. Appropriate skill in fulfilling job demand is necessary in order to success with what they did, and lead to high
satisfaction in work. Job fitness with the personality will make peoples appear confidently and convince to themself that they can do best with the job.
2. Pay
The old adage you get what you pay for tends to be true when it comes to staff members. Salary is not a motivator for employees, but they do want to be
paid fairly. If individuals believe they are not compensated well, they will be unhappy working for you. Consult salary surveys or even your local help-wanted
ads to see whether the salaries and benefits youre offering are comparable to those of other offices in your area. In addition, make sure you have clear policies related
to salaries, raises and bonuses.

capacity and level of individua l’s skill, it is possible leads to satisfaction.
3. Promotion opportunities
Individuals at all levels of the organization want to be recognized for their achievements on the job. Their successes dont have to be monumental before they
deserve recognition, but your praise should be sincere. If you notice employees doing something well, take the time to acknowledge their good work immediately.
Publicly thank them for handling a situation particularly well. Write them a kind note of praise. Or give them a bonus, if appropriate. You may even want to
establish a formal recognition program, such as employee of the month. Other research from Robbins 1998, Employees tend to like jobs that give
variety and opportunities to use one’s skills. These characteristics make the job more challenging and interesting. If the job less in challenge, it feel bored. Too
many challenges will create frustration since there are many barriers come needs to handle. If in middle challenge, employee will feel enjoy ness, happiness and
satisfied.
