Method of measuring Job satisfaction
1. Methods of Measuring Job
Satisfaction
According to P. Robbins – Job satisfaction is the amount of pleasure or
contentment associated with a job. If you like your job intensely, you will
experience high job satisfaction. If you dislike your job intensely, you will
experience job dissatisfaction.
Generally there are
two Methods of measuring job satisfaction.
Single Global Rating:
Single global rating is nothing more than a response to one question.
Example: all things considered, how satisfied are you with your job? Here
respondents circle a number between 1 and 5 that corresponds to answer
from “highly satisfied” to “highly dissatisfied.”
Summation Job facets:
It is more sophisticated, it identifies key elements in a job and asks the
employee’s feelings about each. Typically elements here are the nature of
the work; supervision, preset pay, promotion opportunities and relation with
coworkers. Respondents rate them on a standardized scale, and researchers
add the ratings to create an overall job satisfaction score. This method is
achieves a more accurate evaluation of job satisfaction.
2. In some cases there is a third method:
Personal Interview:
When the situation gets too complicated to handle by above mentioned
methods then employees are interviewed personally to find out the core
reason of the job dissatisfaction.
