Preferred term
job satisfaction
Definition
- As the phrase suggests, this is the fit between what employees seek from work and what they get out of it. Studies often distinguish between intrinsic sources of satisfaction (for example, whether a worker can feel pleasure at ‘a job well done’) and extrinsic ones (for example, the status outside the work place that comes with the position and the pleasure that can be purchased with the income).
