Job satisfaction

Job satisfaction or employee satisfaction has been defined in many different ways. Muzamil & Shawkat (2015) conceptualized job satisfaction in terms of cognitive and affective domains. These researchers have developed a short scale that can be used in a wide range of human service organizations to measure cognitive and affective factors of job satisfaction.Some believe it is simply how content an individual is with his or her job, in other words, whether or not they like the job or individual aspects or facets of jobs, such as nature of work or supervision. Others believe it is not so simplistic as this definition suggests and instead that multidimensional psychological responses to one's job are involved. Researchers have also noted that job satisfaction measures vary in the extent to which they measure feelings about the job (affective job satisfaction). or cognitions about the job (cognitive job satisfaction).
