Promote Job Satisfaction through Mental Challenge

Abstract

Employees who are satisfied with their jobs tend to perform better, withdraw less, and lead happier and healthier lives. Organizations whose employees are satisfied with their jobs are more likely to be productive and profitable. The single most effective way organizations can achieve a satisfied workforce is to provide their employees with mentally challenging work. The relationship between job satisfaction and performance has an interesting history, they may be reciprocal. Not only may employees who are happy with their jobs be more productive, but performing a job well may lead to satisfaction with the job, especially if good performance is rewarded. Evidence indicates that job satisfaction is also moderately to strongly relate to one outcome that individuals find particularly important. Since the job is a significant part of life, the correlation between job and life satisfaction makes sense one's job experiences spill over onto life.
