COMPENSATION AND RECOGNITION ASSIGNMENT - 4 DECEMBER 19, 2023 SANGEETHA MANIKANTAN T00704411
Part A: Employee Satisfaction Step 1: Research Before crafting the employee satisfaction survey, I conducted comprehensive research on three essential approaches: Likert scaling, the Minnesota Satisfaction Questionnaire (MSQ), and the Job Descriptive Index (JDI). Each of these methodologies contributes distinct perspectives to assess worker satisfaction, ensuring a nuanced and sophisticated understanding of the various factors impacting job fulfilment. Job Descriptive Index (JDI): The JDI, a renowned job satisfaction study, delves into five fundamental aspects significantly influencing employees' happiness at work. These include coworkers, labor, compensation, promotions, and supervision. The questionnaire aims to measure respondents' levels of satisfaction or dissatisfaction with these crucial elements, providing insightful information on specific areas that may impact overall work satisfaction (Castanheira, 2014). Minnesota Satisfaction Questionnaire (MSQ): David J. Weiss's MSQ offers an alternative perspective in evaluating employee happiness. It considers intrinsic fulfillment from the nature of the profession, along with extrinsic elements like pay, perks, contentment with prospects for career progression, and satisfaction with supervision. Consequently, the MSQ provides a more thorough examination of the extrinsic and internal factors influencing overall job satisfaction (University of Minnesota, n.d.). Likert Scaling: In addition to referencing well-known survey instruments like the JDI and MSQ, the questionnaire incorporates Likert scaling—a commonly used technique to measure beliefs and perspectives. Utilizing a five-point scale, respondents can numerically express their
levels of pleasure. Our questionnaire features a Likert scale ranging from 1 to 5, where 1 represents the least satisfaction and 5 the maximum (Trochim, n.d.). Creating a Comprehensive Questionnaire: The employee satisfaction questionnaire was meticulously crafted by amalgamating elements from the JDI, MSQ, and Likert scale, comprising 12 focused questions. This amalgamation ensures the survey captures the subtleties of various aspects of job satisfaction, providing a comprehensive view of how employees perceive their duties, workplace, pay, and prospects for advancement. Likert scaling facilitates quantitative analysis, simplifying the assessment of satisfaction levels for different factors. The purpose of this thoughtfully designed questionnaire is to furnish organizations with valuable information for enhancing the overall well-being and contentment of their workforce.
