Concept of Job Satisifaction
How would you define job satisfaction?
I have the following information from reading but this needs to be expressed better.
Job satisfaction essentially represents employee's overall evaluation of their jobs, including feelings of positive affect toward their jobs or job situations.
Job satisfaction can be defined as an employee's overall evaluation of his or her job as favorable or unfavorable (e.g., Locke, 1976; Spector, 1997a). In this sense, job satisfaction is basically an employee's attitude toward his or her job (see Eagly & Chaiken, 1993).
