Abstract: Job Satisfaction is all about how a person likes the job. It is actually more of a journey than being a destination. It is of utmost requirement to organizations as it will increase the job involvement level of the employees and decrease the turnover. Job satisfaction has been a fascinating concept for researchers as well as experts since number of decades. This paper presents the study of past literatures of job satisfaction between the years 1981 to 2014. The purpose is to find out the different attributes used for evaluating the job satisfaction. From the review of extant literature, it has been found that it is always not salary which leads to job satisfaction rather it is the work environment. Keywords: Job Satisfaction, Attributes, Turnover, Work environment

Introduction Job Satisfaction is what organizations always focus and with time it has taken the place of importance. Job satisfaction is all about how a person likes the job. Today it is a world of competition and when job satisfaction is not felt by an employee it leads to turnover. Salary is a contributor to job satisfaction but not always. There are many other factors which help in achieving job satisfaction. Often, in order to achieve optimum job satisfaction, organizations undertake several activities, but they fail to meet the expectation of the employees and result in low job satisfaction. Such situations have always pondered researchers and practioners with the question what makes employees satisfied? Hence, organizations are regularly conducting job satisfaction surveys to understand how much employees are satisfied and what makes them satisfied. At the same time, researchers are bringing in different motivational theories and developing different frameworks of job satisfaction. This review of literature is an attempt to understand the researches done in this area in couple of years.

Objectives of the Study The major objectives of our review are: I. To explore the kind of research undertaken and available in the field of job satisfaction. II. To highlight the gaps existing in the current literature and emphasize upon important and interesting areas of research herein. III. To establish the importance of job satisfaction in the organizations.

Methodology of the study The study is conducted by using secondary data listed in different databases (goggle and KSOM Library (Emerald-1981-2014 Articles with the key word “Job Satisfaction”). For this purpose articles listed in the database has been reviewed.

Review of Literature Savery (1989) highlighted the job satisfaction of nurses in Perth, Western Australia. The job satisfaction level of the nurses was mainly due to interesting and challenging work which was followed by a feeling of achievement wherein, he even said salary was ranked as a very low satisfier. The job satisfaction level increased as the person grew old where in the variables like gender, time in hospital, position held were controlled. Organizations should always focus on satisfying the three basic needs (Individual motivators, Employee relationships and personal relationships) of an employee which will in return help the employees in achieving job satisfaction. Melvin (1993) stated that the environmental design of an organization plays a very important role in job satisfaction at the same time it also plays an important role in employees high job involvement. A good environmental design of an organization helps in resolving the conflicts and confusion. The author even cites that it is the responsibility of the management to design the environment in such a manner that it reduces the dissatisfaction where in the work tasks, working patterns are properly mentioned. MacDermid(1999) studied the job satisfaction level of workaholics. He said there are six variables of workaholic patterns i.e. Workaholics, Enthusiastic Workaholics, Work Enthusiastic, Unengaged Workers, Relaxed Workers and Disenchanted Workers. The job satisfaction level and career satisfaction level was much more in Enthusiastic Workaholics , Work Enthusiastic, Relaxed Workers than Workaholics, Unengaged Workers and Disenchanted Workers because of the future career prospects, working involvement, drive and work enjoyment. Beumont (1982) in his article highlights the job satisfaction level of general household in United States & Britain where in there is a close fit relationship in U.S than Britain. In the study he found that in U.S there is a positive relationship between Job Satisfaction and Age where as in Britain it was considerably low. Partridge (1981) studied the job satisfaction level of women in Britain in which he found that the job satisfaction level of women was more as compared with black men, as they normally have low expectations from their jobs. At the same time they have a greater feeling that the alternative jobs available to them differs very less than those available to them.

Saari & Judge (2004) discussed on employee attitudes leading to job satisfaction. The employee attitude is related to the job, when a person has a liking towards to the job the satisfaction level increases there by increasing the organization performance as in a whole. Savery (1987) highlights the effect of motivators on job satisfaction. He states intrinsic motivators’ helps in achieving job satisfaction. The study says stress being one of the major reason leading to dissatisfaction therefore it has to be taken care of properly to reduce the level of dissatisfaction. The immediate supervisor is the person who has a major influence on job satisfaction. The supervisor helps in increasing the satisfaction level by offering more of intrinsic motivators like challenging work and career development to the subordinates and he is the one who provides the most tangible assistance to the subordinate. Singh & Jain (2013) highlights on employees job satisfaction and its impact on their performance. Employees’ attitude reflects the moral of the company. Happy employees play an important role in the areas of customers’ service and sales as they are the one to interact with the customer on a daily basis. Work environment is the key factor in job satisfaction. Good work environment and good working conditions leads to job satisfaction at the same time helps in increasing employee work performance, profitability, customer satisfaction as well as retention. Tietjen & Myers (1998) discusses the theories of job satisfaction mentioned by Herzberg and Lockers. Job Satisfaction is always maximum when an employee is satisfied with the work which is assigned to him. A well furnished office and the temperature of the work environment doesn’t help much where as the base duty allotted in the job and the intrinsic related feelings of an individual creates a positive attitude in him about the job. Salary, perks always doesn’t lead to job satisfaction it is the intrinsic feelings of an individual which leads to job satisfaction. Witte (2012) highlighted on the group differences aspect in job satisfaction. The study was done on the banking sector in Belgium. A model was created for testing the hypothesis .The model was “Job Demand Control support” and the analysis found says that job demand(It is a psychology which says the job requires certain capabilities)have the highest effect in explaining satisfaction in relation to the working conditions and less in relation to explaining satisfaction with job content. Omey (2007) discusses the relationship between educational level and job satisfaction. He says though there is a relationship it also says that there is no relationship as well. Higher educated workers are always satisfied in comparison with the lower educated workers, the fact being higher educated people obtain a job of better quality. He adds lower educated workers can also have higher level of job satisfaction from the psychological benefits of a “good job”. Quality of jobs offered to the employees differs with the educational level leading to different degree of job satisfaction. Job characteristics have a big role as here one gets a scope to use his or her own skills. Therefore the author suggests that organizations should focus more on job quality than educational level. Oshagbemi (1997) highlights on the effect of ranking on the job satisfaction level of UK academicians. Rank increases the job satisfaction level of the academics. Based on the analysis it was found that gender and rank have direct impact on the level of job satisfaction of university teachers. Female academics in the ranks of senior lecturer, reader and professor were more satisfied than men in the same rank. Female academics were found to be more satisfied in regard to pay, promotion, physical conditions/working facilities than men. Kumari and Pandey (2011) states that public sector and private sector both are equally important for any nation and these two are the basic requirement for any nation to prosper and grow. Here the job satisfaction level was tested in relation to job ambivalence (the state of having mixed feelings or contradictory ideas about something). Higher performance rating was given to the supervisor when the job ambivalence faced by the employees is less and vice-e-versa. Job satisfaction and performance has no relation when the job ambivalence increases towards the job. Therefore, organizations should focus on bringing clarity to the employees about their work, the process to be followed for the better understanding of the job. Seniwoliba A.J. (2013) studies the job satisfaction level of teachers in public senior high school in the Temale Metropolis of Ghana and it was found that extrinsic factors i.e. salary, incentives, working conditions, security (Medical allowance and future pension benefits) motivates the employees and helps in achieving job satisfaction effectively. Salary and working conditions play a larger role in job satisfaction and by enlarge organizations should focus on it always and take steps for improving it. Equal pay for equal rank has to be preached by organizations. Nir (2012) studies the importance of teachers’ perceived organizational support on Job Satisfaction. There are two aspects to satisfaction mainly intrinsic and extrinsic. Earned status and respect are those of the extrinsic factors which plays an important role in employee satisfaction. Self-efficacy as an intrinsic factor helps as it promotes individual self-fulfillment. When organization value its employees contribution, cares about their well being then employees are satisfied intrinsically and extrinsically. Aristovnik (2014) discusses influence of organizational and environmental factors on employee job satisfaction. The police employees rated salary and security as the least motivator and support from the management as high. Police employees rate trust and belongingness as the key factor to job satisfaction. Austin (2007) mentions “Self-fulfillment”, “Independence” and “Job environment” are the key reasons to managers’ job satisfaction in Cyprus. Good pay, highly skilled subordinates, growth opportunities relates to self-fulfillment. Employers should focus on these three factors i.e. the demographic variables (age, gender, number of years in the organization, public or private sector, number of employees supervised) independence in work and the work environment to make the system flow flawlessly leading to job satisfaction.
