Wheatsville Employees: A Case Study

It has been shown that employees who have a high satisfaction rate on the job or with the company that they work for, are less likely to leave the company that they work for compared to those who have a less satisfaction rate (Hellawell, 2012). As mentioned earlier, this would result not only in cost savings, but it would improve the overall relationship between the employee and the company. Employees that are committed and satisfied are not only not going to leave, they would also be able to contribute more and be more effective and efficient.

Organizations that are serious about making improvements are going to have to deal with the issue of job satisfaction. Job satisfaction can be best described as the positive feeling that an individual has about their job resulting from an evaluation of the job’s characteristics (Robbins & Judge, 2009, p.31). It would seem natural to think that job satisfaction would have a positive correlation with successful organizations. What impact does job satisfaction have on an organization?

While it was a key component to change the organizational structure, this process needed to come before cultural changes. I have the desire to affect positive change with my Board role for Roscoe Village in the same way as my college role, but I need to be cognizant of my limitations to do that at least in the same manner. While Roscoe Village has appreciated and tapped my abilities in the past, I am not the Director and can’t assume to carry the same

Job satisfaction is a pleasurable or positive emotional state resulting from the appraisal of one’s job or job experiences. It has been treated both as a general attitude and satisfaction with five specific dimensions of the job: pay, the work itself, promotion opportunities, supervision, and coworkers. Challenging work, valued rewards, opportunities for advancement, competent supervision, and supportive coworkers are dimensions of the job that can lead to satisfaction (Nelson & Quick, 2013, pg.

To understand the concept of job satisfaction the research has identified two aspects of it, they are, the facets satisfaction and overall satisfaction (Cherrington,1994; Fields, 2002). Individuals can be satisfied or dissatisfied with their overall job (Ironson, Smith, Brannick, Gibson, & Paul, 1989) and with specific job facets, such as the level of pay, promotion opportunities, co-workers, working conditions and supervision, contingent rewards, benefits, nature of work, or communication (Spector, 1997; Locke, 1976; Smith, Kendall & Hulin, 1969).
