<\/a>it’s a two-way street. by steven e. sacks<\/i><\/p>\n the conference board indicates that slightly over half (51%) of u.s. workers are satisfied with their jobs. but this means a not-too-insignificant amount (49%) are less than satisfied with their jobs.<\/p>\n more: <\/b>how engaged are your employees?<\/a> | performance reviews: no need to pull teeth<\/a> | knowledge maintenance: gaining employee buy-in<\/a> | the new way to handle exit interviews<\/a> job dissatisfaction is not a new occurrence, and with the increased influence of technology, this issue has not experienced much improvement over the past 15 to 20 years. a recent study by job seeker nation indicated that 82 percent of workers would like to seek new employment opportunities, although the prospects of landing a new one would be more difficult than over the past couple of years. however, there is no guarantee that the grass is greener in each subsequent new environment you enter.<\/p>\n “pleasure in the job puts perfection in the work.” \u2013 aristotle<\/p><\/blockquote>\n studies show the same dissatisfaction has impacted generations of workers in areas such as:<\/p>\n these are not all-inclusive, but they do have wide-ranging implications, such as reduced morale, decreased productivity, mixed messages from senior leadership, increased absenteeism and illness because of job stress. this last symptom can cost u.s. business $500 billion annually.<\/p>\n attempts to reduce job dissatisfaction have fallen short<\/strong><\/p>\n organizations, whether in the public or private sectors, have discovered different problems and sought to implement various approaches in their recruiting efforts. their objective is not to be blindsided by employee departures, even after going through a deliberate hiring process. some approaches:<\/p>\n realistically, there are times nothing a firm can do will improve job satisfaction. maybe it\u2019s a cultural thing or maybe there is a disconnect between management\u2019s words and its actions. job satisfaction also means different things to different people. what brings contentment to one is a throwaway to someone else. regardless of the effort or how it\u2019s packaged, such measures to improve job satisfaction are ultimately intended to benefit the firm. finding the sweet spot to satisfy the masses is really the holy grail.<\/p>\n finding job satisfaction is a two-way street<\/strong><\/p>\n the goal of creating job satisfaction is not asynchronous; employees cannot solely depend on the firm\u2019s leadership to get them to a place of satisfaction. employees need to expend efforts to determine what will make them happy(ier) in their jobs and be able to articulate it to management \u2013 and not just during the annual performance review.<\/p>\n career contentment is like beauty: it\u2019s in the eye of the beholder. it can be outside of what the current employer provides or promises. what makes one person unhappy \u2013 such as old technology, bossy supervisors or long hours \u2013 can be overlooked by someone else whose mindset is elsewhere. this could mean challenging work, more recognition or some other intangible. if you can find contentment or satisfaction within your own set boundaries, then you don\u2019t have to depend on management to make promises or implement new processes.<\/p>\n what makes one person content can make another person intolerant. if you reach a point where you wonder if you have reached your potential or if your talents are better leveraged elsewhere, you don\u2019t need to seek counsel or platitudes from the top. there are those individuals who look inward to discover a calling or seek meaning and purpose from their work.<\/p>\n no amount of cheerleading from on high will change an individual\u2019s mindset. in other words, if an individual only cared about income, title and working conditions, he or she would no longer be in their place of employment. conversely, the same holds true of the person who wants a career that benefits a different cohort or contributes something meaningful to society. the bottom line: a meaningful career can be created and not be dependent on employer-provided satisfaction.<\/p>\n what employers can do to encourage career contentment<\/strong><\/p>\n no employee wants to have the wrong person doing a job that is not a fit for the individual or for the firm. there are solutions to fix the problems to benefit both parties. here are some ways to help employees reduce job dissatisfaction and increase career contentment:<\/p>\n it’s a two-way street.<\/strong>
