Implications for Managers
• Remember that an employee’s job satisfaction level is the best
single predictor of behavior.
• Pay attention to your employees’ job satisfaction levels as
determinants of their performance, turnover, absenteeism, and
withdrawal behaviors.
• Measure employee job attitudes objectively and at regular
intervals in order to determine how employees are reacting to
their work.
• To raise employee satisfaction, evaluate the fit between the
employee’s work interests and the intrinsic parts of the job to
create work that is challenging and interesting to the individual.
• Consider the fact that high pay alone is unlikely to create a
satisfying work environment.
