Introduction In any organisation, a good leadership is important to motivate their subordinates, bring the organisation forward and achieve its goals. A good leader has a clear vision and passion to influence their followers. Job satisfaction and organisational commitment are important factors in determining organizational efficiency. Robbins & Judge (2013) defined leadership as the ability to influence a group toward the achievement of a vision or set of goals and to perform at their highest capability (Rad and Yarmohammadian, 2006).
Likewise, employees’ feeling of job satisfaction has been reviewed in comparatively with a specific dimension of organizational culture and leadership. In organizations that are flexible and adopt the participative management type, the latter are more possible to be satisfied, resulting in the organization’s success. Although the leader creates the culture predominantly, but he or she is the one who progresses through this process and so are the leadership tactics that he or she applies. In accordance to the leadership, there are two major types of leadership in organizations that influence the employee’s job satisfaction, which are: the transactional and the transformational leaderships. The transactional leaderships are the ones who act within the frame of the dominant culture; the transformational leaderships work towards change and adaptation of the culture to their own
Among scholars, the different facets of job satisfaction included feelings toward a job, pay, benefits, supervision, coworkers, the work itself, organizational environment, and work conditions as stated by Biggs & Swaile; Fichter & Cipolla (as cited by Appiah, 2016). Aziri (as cited by Appiah, 2016) stated that employees were usually more productive, more stable, and had a better
However in 1955, judge et al. (2001) explained that the study of Locke (1970), Schwab and Cummings (1970), and Vroom (1964), have shown that there is to some extent relationship between job satisfaction and job performance. There are stronger relationship between job satisfaction and job performance but it depend on the specific environment as well as mood and employee level within the organization. (Morrison, 1997). It is very common understanding that the worker who are feeling happiness in their jobs they are also more productive at their work place.
It is believed that employers may increase their number of successful employees through using a scientific approach when it comes to hiring potential workers, this approach being a psychological one. Psychology has the ability to determine the personality of a particular individual, and this may give employers data that they can use in selecting their employees. (Baez, 2013). Personality tests are a means to attempt to uncover an individual’s character. This is done by presenting that particular person a set of questions or statements that he or she rates using a Likert-type scale.
Introduction In today’s society, it is common for employees to have many challenging responsibilities in their life other than work, for example, commitments involving parents or children, education or sports commitments or personal interests outside of work. People want to escape work for a greater sense of well-being and to reduce stress levels. A poor balance between an employee’s work commitments and their other responsibilities can lead to low productivity as well as high stress and absentees. Meanwhile, employees with better work-life balance often have a greater sense of responsibility, achievement, ownership and control of their working life.
Not only can job satisfaction be influenced, it can also be forecasted by the workers thought of organizational culture more specifically support socially and leadership. Indeed, as the employees’ ethos are enhanced, their interaction with the managements ameliorates thereby contributing to team work and collaboration. For instance a library that used to be unattended by scholars, if parties concerned improve service coordination, its goals, culture and customer relation then it will be attended thereby leading to improved corporate culture and satisfaction. More importantly, innovative organizational culture tends to be highly correlated with self achievements. This is to say that a staff who feels that his job is more dynamic tend to feel satisfied.
This facet approach can give a deeper insight into an individual’s job satisfaction than the global approach. Examples of frequently used facet satisfaction scales are: The JSS, the Job Descriptive Index (Smith et al 1969), the Minnesota Satisfaction Questionnaire (Weiss et al 1967) and the Job Diagnostic Survey (Hackman & Oldham 1975). Many other job satisfaction scales have been developed and there are advantages and disadvantages to both in terms of expressing job satisfaction in a workplace. The advantage to using an existing job satisfaction scale is that they cover the major facets of satisfaction; however, the disadvantage is that they will not include more specific areas of satisfaction or dissatisfaction that may be an issue for a particular organisation
