Document Summary
A pleasurable emotional state resulting from the appraisal of one"s job or job experiences; represents how a person feels and thinks about his/ her job. People are satisfied when their job provides things that they value. Things that people consciously or unconsciously want to seek or attain. A theory that argues that job satisfaction depends on whether the employee perceives that his/ her job supplies those things that he/she wants. V want= how much of a value an employee wants. V have= how much of a value an employee needs. V importance= how important the value is to the employee. Since the difference between what you want and what you have gets multiplied by their importance, existing discrepancies get magnified for important values and minimized for trivial values. This theory suggests that people value job satisfaction according to specific facets of the job. Employees" feelings about the compensation for their jobs. Employees" feelings about how the company handles promotions.
