The theory of job satisfaction is highlighted in this case. Morale and job dissatisfaction is a major symptom that contributed to the high turnover in the Lima plan. Yet, there are other symptoms that were directly related to morale and job dissatisfaction that should be analyzed to understand the root cause of the problem. First, the nature of the work is a symptom that contributed to the morale and dissatisfaction. According to the case, the foremen had to manage and resolve a variety of issues…

2.3.3 The fulfillment theory Convinced that work is a special area of human behavior and that whatever psychological mechanisms operate to make people satisfied or dissatisfied in their work. Robert H. Schaffer (1953) developed a simple conceptual approach to job satisfaction known as fulfillment theory. The theory states that: Overall job satisfaction will vary directly with the extent to which those needs of an individual which can be satisfied in a job are actually satisfied. The…

Motivation and Job Satisfaction Theories The idea of motivation applies to internal elements that coerce action and external elements that can function as stimuli to perform. There are several characteristics that can be affected by motivation such as intensity and persistence. Moreover, motivation goes beyond affecting the procurement of individuals’ skills, and plays a part in the magnitude which they use their skills and abilities. The belief is an organization that has excessive quantity…

the difference between Mill’s qualitative hedonism and Bentham’s quantitative hedonism? Which is more plausible as a theory of well-being? Hedonism is the idea that well-being of people comes about through pleasure. Pure hedonism is the thought that it arises through and only through pleasure and both Bentham and Mill advocate different approaches for which hedonism may be the basis of human well-being. Both Philosophers then go on to construct theories of morality on the basis of this idea such…

pleasure provokes satisfaction and satisfaction drives desire and indeed desire keeps man alive. The basic thing that makes your life moving and on going is the pursuit of your desires. Without desires life is going to be stagnant. Desires give you a motivation force to do better and to strive for more. The journey to obtain a desire is going to be very complicated with full of hurdles in between but at the end of the day that journey is cherished more than the actual attainment of the desire. A conspicuous…

strive to maintain high levels of satisfaction amongst their workforce, as this has been shown to relate to positive outcomes such as increased occupational citizenship behaviors (OCBs), increased quality of work life (QWL) for employees, and increased productivity for the organization (Bauer & Erdogan, 2012: Daus, 2016). After carrying out the unpleasant, but necessary, layoffs within my organization, I have become increasingly concerned with the satisfaction levels of my current workforce. They…

Job satisfaction is widely considered to be influenced by four subdivisions; mentally challenging work, equitable rewards, supporting working conditions, and supporting work colleagues. As a result of these four subdivisions, this paper will address why managers are able to create satisfied employees subjective to the policies they choose to implement and behaviour they demonstrate. This concept will be discussed independently, before addressing the theory that job satisfaction is dependent on predetermined…

The desire-fulfilment theory of well-being (DFT) is a theory of welfare which help to determine what is good or bad for us in life. The DFT focuses on the fulfillment of our desires and although it has significant support, it faces objections. I am not able to discuss all of these objections, however I will examine the objections that I believe are highly damaging, and then determine what I consider to be the best objection to the theory. In my opinion the best objection is the idea that one could…

Consequentialism is an approach to Ethics that argues that the morality of an action is reliant on the action 's consequence (Mastin, 2008). This theory is based on two main principles, first, that the rightness or wrongness of an act depends solely on the results of it and secondly, that the better act is the one that produces more good as a consequence. What is meant by consequence here is everything that a certain action brings about, including the action itself. The good end required by an action…

The Value Percept Theory argues that job satisfaction depends on whether a job supplies the things an individual value most. Overall satisfactions derive form combined levels of satisfaction from various elements of an individual’s job, whether it’s: pay, promotion, supervision, coworkers, or the work itself. Job satisfaction is based on cognitive and affective components, which is evaluated by what an individual thinks about the job, and how they feel. Cognition evaluation is based on experiences…
