All of the above suggestions can be summarized by Angle and Perry 's (1981) view. They stated that employees who are strongly committed to their organizations are both high performers and highly involved. Also these employees are more likely to be innovative on behalf of the organization. Job satisfaction is important for its various outcomes, but first of all it is important since "job satisfaction in and of itself is a desirable outcome" (Luthans, 1992). According to Mitchell (1982), there are four main topics, which separated satisfied and dissatisfied employees. These are turnover, absence, health, and productivity. Hellrieger et. al. (1995) added that, these four behavioural consequences give an idea to management about the problems at work. Many researchers analyzed the link between job satisfaction and turnover and in most of them it is found that the relation is moderate (Mc Afee and Champagne, 1987). A great deal of research is conducted about the relationship between job satisfaction and turnover and absenteeism and it is concluded that, satisfaction and turnover and also absenteeism are negatively correlated. The greater the satisfaction, the lower the turnover rate and absenteeism rate (Mitchell, 1982).

In IT, human resources strive to maintain their highly skilled employees while employees’

However, how a person performs these duties each day depends on how much they like or dislike their occupation. Job satisfaction affects job performance and turnover rates. “Job satisfaction essentially reflects the extent to which an individual likes his or her job. Formally defined, job satisfaction is an effective or emotional response toward various facets on one’s job (Kinicki & Fugate, 2016, pg. 57).” It is possible a person only likes part of his or her job though. Job satisfaction has five predominant models. These models are: was need fulfillment met, are expectations met, values, equity (fairness), and dispositional/ genetic components. Job satisfaction also affects attitudes and
Organizational commitment is one of the two individual outcomes derived from individual mechanisms like job satisfaction, stress, motivation, trust, justice, ethics, and learning and decision making. These mechanisms and outcomes can be found on the integrative model of organizational behavior (OB). Colquitt, LePine, and Wesson defined organizational commitment in their Organizational Behavior 5th Edition book as the desire of an employee to remain a member of the organization (p 64).

Personal characteristics of workers also has an impact on job satisfaction. Job satisfaction increases age. Whites have greater job satisfaction than non-whites. The level of education is slightly negatively related to job satisfaction. If personal skills and abilities are not required by a job, job satisfaction decreases. When a person is more adjusted personally, they will be more satisfied with work. Most of all having a job with decent and fair wage may be the most important variable to job satisfaction.
