Impact of Working Environment on Job Satisfaction
These days organizations are facing several challenges due to the dynamic nature of the environment. One of the many challenges for a business is to satisfy its employees in order to cope up with the ever changing and evolving environment and to achieve success and remain in competition.
According to Vroom (1964) Job satisfaction is an orientation of emotions that employees possess towards role they are performing at the work place. Job Satisfaction is the essential component for employee motivation and encouragement towards better performance .Many people have defined job satisfaction over the years. Hoppok & Spielgler (1938) defines job satisfaction as the integrated set of psychological, physiological and environmental conditions that encourage employees to admit that they are satisfied or happy with their jobs .Further, the role of employees at workplace is emphasized as there is an influence of various elements on an employee within the organization.
Job satisfaction has become the pillar on which performance of employees is hinged. The most important goal among others of an organization is to exhaust the possibilities of getting the best employee performance in order to accomplish set objectives
The work environment refers to the relationship between a worker and his environment that can be broken down into different dimensions like the social, technical and economic in which the work is normally viewed and designed. Stephen P. Robbins (2001) advocates that working conditions will influence job satisfaction, as employees are concerned with a comfortable physical work environment. In turn this will render a more positive level of job satisfaction. Miller, Erickson & Yust (2001) forwarded their view that employees get benefited by work environment that provide sense.
Employee job satisfaction is a parameter that measures the depth of Employee affectionate or positive experience derived from the work. Researchers have mentioned that employees with higher satisfaction tend to be more loyal and productive, yet there are no exact formula on maximizing employee job satisfaction, let alone a research to serve as an exact parameter of the factors influencing the job satisfaction.
