Job
satisfaction is defined as the extent to which an employee feels
self-motivated, content & satisfied with his job. Job satisfaction happens
when an employee feels he or she is having job stability, career growth and a
comfortable work life balance.
may be in a job which you liked very much and started in it . But after five
year you find yourself as a very unhappy person . Struck in a situation where
you are just struggling to move out of it .
is a fact that your dream job is waiting on you, so don’t continue in a
miserable job, boring or basically unsatisfying, even questionable for basic
survival. Your time is NOW to get out!
& fulfillment is your aim, not being in a “make do” position for an
extended period!
When
people think of dream jobs, all often, they think of the jobs that they thought
about when they were children.
As a
child, you probably thought about being a doctor or a lawyer, a nurse, even an
astronaut when you finished college. Truth is few of us kept the objective in
mind for those jobs & gave up; in other words, you felt you were settling.
The
problem is, lots of those people carried
the disappointment they felt from learning that they couldn’t do the jobs that
they wanted as babies into their adult lives.
Few
people follow through with their childhood dreams, but the fact is, those
childhood dreams probably would not have made you happy anyway.
Your
needs & beliefs about a nice job when you were a child will be far
different from your needs as an adult, & you’ll find that if you consider
your needs as an adult, you’ll have a much better chance of finding your real
dream job.
Think
about what makes you happy, & what you need in terms of job security, monetary
pay & challenges.
The
first step in searching for your dream job is actually realizing that the one
you are in right now isn’t going to make you happy.
Have
you been waiting on a promotion or raise that never comes, or do you feel that
your efforts are wasted on a routine basis?
you feel that they don’t appreciate you, or you silently think that you are so
much better than this. All of these feelings are valid; the important thing to
realize is that they are feelings that should be acted upon.
For
the employer as well there are many benefits of job satisfaction :
a.
Lowers voluntary turnover.
b.
Reduces Employee Absenteeism.
c.
Reduces long-term HR costs.
d.
Contributes positive results towards Employee
Referral Programs.
e.
Boosts Employee Productivity.
f.
Increases Employee Retention
When
you take a look at the feelings of discontent that you have amassed about your
job, realize that you spend a quarter of your life at work. Your life is
basically short to feel like that for a fourth of it!
More
people find their dream jobs than you might think; for a fact, it is imperative to make your time
count as you search.
Job
satisfaction is a very important part of an employee’s lifecycle and motivation
to remain loyal to and employed with an organization. A number of activities or
tasks of an HR team directly or indirectly influence employee satisfaction levels.
Help
is obtainable for you to discover the career job of your dreams. Your mindset
is key when you begin to look. My best
wishes !!

Rightly said! Realisation of whether one is happy in the current job or not, is the first step towards a dream job. 👌
